What strikes me about it is how pointless it is. Do we really believe Amazon are going to file a suit against anyone based on this patent?

  They can certainly counter-bully people using it, say if someone has a legitimate claim against Amazon, but happens to violate this patent.

    That is basically what it all boils down to. Patent as much as you can so you can defend yourself, and eventually make a cross-license deal that doesn't cost too much money. And just maybe, it might make you a little money. My personal favorite is the patent on a cell phone ringing and vibrating at the same time. For a long time most other phones would alternate.
