Regifting Not Just A Seinfeld Gag -- It's Patented

Posted by timothy on from the no-blushing-'cause-there's-no-shame dept.

theodp writes "While the jury's still out on Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos' gifting patent, the USPTO has given thumbs-up to a patent for regifting. The electronic regifting patent, which cites a Seinfeld episode and Bezos' pending patent application as prior art, was awarded to an individual who also holds a patent for exchanging online gifts."
