A U.S. court reached its decision that business methods, such as Amazon.com Inc’s one-click to buy goods on the Internet, cannot be patented. “The court stated that the patent application in question – a method for reducing the risk of sudden changes in energy cots – was not a machine and did not result in a transformation, both standards set by the U.S. Supreme Court for patentability.” As covered by Reuters. This shakes the legal status of Amazon’s (AMZN) 1-click patent.
