Bezos Buries Patent Office in Paper
theodp writes "On June 2nd, almost two-and-half years after the USPTO initiated a reexamination of Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos' 1-Click Patent, Amazon dumped another load of documents on the USPTO Examiner assigned to the case, asking for consideration of the 185 or so listed references and 'favorable action.' Peter Calveley, the LOTR actor whose do-it-yourself legal effort prompted the reexam, notes that he was cc'ed on 20 kg of documents that Amazon sent earlier to the USPTO as it tried to stave off last October's nonfinal rejection of all but 5 of Amazon's 26 1-Click patent claims. So much for Bezos' 2000 pledge of 'less work for the overworked Patent and Trademark Office.'"
You must be new around here - this is Slashdot, where completely baseless opinions are preferred. Patents and Microsoft are inherently evil, of course, and facts are not allowed to get in the way of a good diatribe. You shouln't even RTFA.
Flame away, anti-patent and MS fanbots.
It's Linux, damnit! Pay no attention to renaming attempts by self-aggrandizing blowhards.
