Amazon Sued For Recommending Books

Posted by timothy on from the if-you-say-litigious-we-sue dept.

localman writes "Cedant, the owner of Super 8 motels and Days Inn, is suing Amazon for patent infringement for recommending books with it's 'customers who purchased X also purchased Y' technology. Heh. 'Technology.' It's always fun to see Amazon hoist by its own petard, as it were, but it would really stink if no website could offer it's customer's recommendations. Got Prior Art?"
