- icebraining 10y agoThat particular patent was killed because it was even less innovative, as CompuServe Mall already had shopping carts in a computer before. Unfortunately, it had to go all the way to the court of appeals, and only thanks to Newegg choosing to fight it rather than pay them off: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2013/01/how-newegg-crushed-the-shopping-cart-patent-and-saved-online-retail/ https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2013/01/how-newegg-crush...
- josaka 10y agoYes. But it was killed before Alice.
