- pjc50 7y agoThe oneclick patent didn't cover an "implementation" in the sense that we'd normally define it, it covered any UI with that same flow.
- mdorazio 7y agoHave you looked at the patents in question? Here they are: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]. 1,2,4, and 5 are absurdly broad, obvious, almost certainly were preceded by basic networking functions, and should not have been granted in the first place. The third is possibly novel so I'll grant them that. This whole case is a great example of the ridiculousness of software patents in the modern USPTO system.
