Amazon Gift Ordering Patent Revoked In EU
Elektroschock writes "The Amazon gift ordering patent was revoked by the European Patent Office. In a press release they write: 'The so-called 'Gift Order Patent' has been revoked by the EPO in an opposition proceeding today after a hearing involving three opposing parties and the patent proprietor, Amazon Inc. The patent relates to a method for purchasing goods over the Internet to be sent as gifts.' Santa did not have to lodge opposition against the patent. The opponents were Fleurop, the FFII and the German computer science society. What strikes me is that so many parties were infringing upon the patent, and yet you need very few organizations to file an opposition. Why are not more patents opposed?"
will they revoke the world domination patent?

all that we are/have is a gift from yOUR creators, not intended to be hoarded, or squandered, only shared.
the lights are coming up all over now.
consult with/trust in yOUR creators. providing more than enough of everything for everyone (without any distracting/spiritdead personal gain motives), whilst badtolling unprecedented evile, using an unlimited supply of newclear power, since/until forever. see you there?
The EU comission are good for preventing the USA from "trying" to rule the EU.
when you proud Europeans take care of that wee little problem of the brown Islamic tide and the fact that they are out-breeding you and will take over, and will not assimilate into your society, be sure to tell me more about how the whole patent thing works out. want an example? just look at all the areas of France that even the _cops_ are afraid to go to, and look at who isn't afraid to go there. if that lil unchecked situation gets better all on its own, it'll be the first such problem to do so.
