Arno# - The cutting edge of developer waffle

Back in October, I reported on Amazon’s defeat by a Lord of the Rings actor. Well it looks like a bad year on the patent front for Amazon as the European Patent Office has overturned another patent within Europe. This time it was the trusty FFII who successfully challenged Amazon. The patent was “a method in a computer system for co-ordinating delivery of a gift from a gift giver to a recipient, the gift and recipient being specified in a gift order”.
