I disagree. Amazon has a history of enforcing terrible patents they own - ie the one-click patent.

- Pfhreak 14y agoCan you provide another example? A single large suit over 10 years ago doesn't really indicate a 'history of enforcing patents'...
- onlyup 14y agoIt still suggests not to trust them
- interviewer 14y agoA "history"? Does your history consist of a single patent lawsuit 13 years ago? Also subsequent to the lawsuit Jeff Bezos went on public record as identifying that as a mistake. http://oreilly.com/news/amazon_patents.html http://oreilly.com/news/amazon_patents.html. After which he spoke to congress about how to change the US patent law to fix it. As an author on 25+ Amazon patents (not the one referenced by the post) I will tell you three things: 1/ The US patent system is broken. Everyone knows this. 2/ Every company has to protect itself by filing patents. This is just a reality of the system that we have. 3/ A company that turns its focus away from its customers and instead focuses on other companies is either a parasite (hello patent trolls!) or has lost its way.
