USPTO Rejects Amazon's One-Click Patent

igdmlgd writes "A while ago I filed a reexamination request for the Amazon.com one-click patent and recently checked out the USPTO online file wrapper -it seems they have rejected all the claims I requested they look at and more!" And it only took many many years to remove what would have been obvious to the most incompetent web developer.

Huh?

So, recently we heard that the One-Click Rejection was rejected [slashdot.org], which has now itself been rejected and now the one-click patent has been totally rejected?

I read that there was a rejection review during which the rejection examiner found prior art that was obvious. This however was not the case and so the rejection was rejected and now I hear this guy making claims that some of his obvious prior art is infact obvious and should be counted on so the patent is now invalid.

What I don't understand is What is a Wookie doing on Endor?

Can someone give me one thing I can click which will explain this whole thing?

Oh no you didn't!!!!

You big snitch!

I am NEVER inviting you over for Xmas to show you my collection of Cuban cigars, black cable box, 120 Gigs of MP3s, hundreds of burnt DVDs, my ex-girlfriend buried in a shoebox in my backyard, nor my collection of tags I have cut off of mattresses over the years!

No clicking required here! Wookiees fight the Empire. The Empire is on Endor. Therefore, a Wookiee is on Endor to fight the Empire!

Huh, no-click answers. I should patent that...

I could, but I'd have to get your promise that you'd click twice to get to it...at least until this whole thing blows over.

This probably means that my intention to patent my shopping system of opening a 2nd checkout in busy periods will fail.

Does this mean

That the patent office is now hiring people that can read?
