	<title>Amazon 1-Click Patent Survives Almost Unscathed</title>

	<htmltext>Zordak writes <i>"Amazon's infamous <a href="http://www.google.com/patents?vid=USPAT5960411">'1-click' patent</a> has been in reexamination at the USPTO for almost four years.  Patently-O now reports that 'the <a href="http://www.patentlyo.com/patent/2010/03/amazon-one-click-patent-slides-through-reexamination.html">USPTO confirmed the patentability of original claims 6-10 and amended claims 1-5 and 11-26</a>. The approved-of amendment adds the seeming trivial limitation that the one-click system operates as part of a 'shopping cart model.' Thus, to infringe the new version of the patent, an eCommerce retailer must use a shopping cart model (presumably non-1-click) alongside of the 1-click version. Because most retail eCommerce sites still use the shopping cart model, the added limitation appears to have no practical impact on the patent scope.'"</i> <a href="http://www.techflash.com/seattle/2010/03/amazons\_1-click\_patent\_confirmed\_following\_re-exam.html">Also covered at TechFlash</a>.</htmltext>

	<htmltext><p>My biggest/main beef with 1 click is that I often want to bill things to a card or account that is the best for that item or time period.
