I’m very surprised a patent is issued for lots of things. I’m sorry I don’t have a reference for you. I’d be interested in reading it.

@ Miva,

Verrrry interesting…

I also saw another BIG name brand using a “Sign up for 1-Click” on their product pages – and I thought, does Amazon know about this? As far as I know this retailer/brand is not partnered with Amazon.

I’m very surprised that a patent would be granted for that. That’s like saying I’m going to patent free overnight shipping during the holidays. If anyone has a link to this patent I’d be very interested in seeing it

The problem is that, not only does Amazon get it right, they want to be the only ones who get it. A competitor of ours sells an add-on product to send emails out X days after the sale. Amazon came after him, claiming they have a patent on the process of sending an email to request a customer review.

Yes, their email definitely gets it right – but they can be so darn annoying with their “patents”.
