Re: There is prior art

On: USPTO Examiner Rejected 1-Click Claims As "Obvious"

I know that the patent has a narrow scope, that's exactly why I proposed a browser-based game as prior art:
1. its under control of a client
2. provides information about the item (you can see what you want to buy including a descriptive name)
3. only one action, that's the 1-click, by simply clicking on that item (also known in many many newer games like Command&Conquer where you buy&build by one click on a item)
4. organising further informations about the user -> that's keeping track of you current score/stats in the game
5. creating a 'order' .. well, simply DO assign the item to the user
6. Not using a shopping-cart .. well, i don't know a single game using a shopping cart :)

so, now please compare this to the patent itself: http://www.google.com/patents?id=O2YXAAAAEBAJ&dq=5 ,960,411

1. A method of placing an order for an item comprising:

        under control of a client system,

                displaying information identifying the item; and
                in response to only a single action being performed, sending a request to order the item along with an identifier of a purchaser of the item to a server system;

        under control of a single-action ordering component of the server system,

                receiving the request;
                retrieving additional information previously stored for the purchaser identified by the identifier in the received request; and

        generating an order to purchase the requested item for the purchaser identified by the identifier in the received request using the retrieved additional information; and
        fulfilling the generated order to complete purchase of the item
        whereby the item is ordered without using a shopping cart ordering model.

There is prior art

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stellar_Crisis .. this game is from 1993, and you can buy in-game things with only one click. DONE

We should sue Mircosoft for defamatory statement

Then they would have to give proof for this!
