Amazon's 'one-click' shopping patent questioned

"The 'one-click' feature, which allows customers to shop without having to enter their shipping and billing information every time they make a purchase, is said to have 'substantial new question of patentability,' a patent examiner told the paper.

A spokeswoman for Amazon told the paper that the company was confident its patent would be upheld."

Wow, if this free's up "one-click" that will surely have a positive impact for online commerce in general and companies like Apple who actually license this from Amazon.
