apparently, amazon still owns the patent to impulse shopping

Judge’s Ruling Spares 1-Click: “theodp writes “Agreeing with Amazon’s characterization of its 1-Click feature as a feature of an electronic product ordering system and not an electronic fund transfer or transaction system, a Judge has tossed out a $50M lawsuit that threatened Amazon’s 1-Click patent. But outside of Court, Amazon touts its patent-pending Amazon Honor System as a way for Web sites to use 1-Click shopping technology for voluntary payment transactions – most notably for 9-11 donations and campaign contributions – that do not involve consumer goods or Amazon-specified prices, which the Judge argues are essential 1-Click ingredients.”” (Via Slashdot.)
