Amazon 1-Click Patent Approved by Canadian Patent Office?


Source: CIPO Website. Amazon Patent Application 2246933 
Here we go. Both the Financial Post and Barry Sookman suggest that the Canadian Intellectual Property Office's review of the Amazon patent is complete and all but granted. I have argued before that there will now be a flood of business method patents in Canada, as we've seen in the U.S. over the last two decades. I can only hope, for the sake of promoting innovation and preventing excessive patent litigation, I'm wrong.
