I think the author is making the claim that AWS could add any new product to their Service Offerings at any time (they can) and that Amazon _could_ clone a customer's IP and add it as a Service Offering on AWS, and this clause would prevent the customer from suing.
I also disagree that this is the correct interpretation, or that this is an issue at all, but I believe that's the author's reading.

- an_account 10y agoThat's not precedent because they aren't cloning products that are patented and they aren't cloning IP. All they're doing in that case is making a competitive product.
- JustSomeNobody 10y agoAgreed, but sure is ruffling feathers. And makes them seem not very trustworthy.
