Stop insane patents!

In: WWW

28 Jul 2005

“Gifts such as dolls should be wrapped in pink paper. Whether it is obvious or not, Amazon now holds the patent on the idea.”

This is crazy that Amazon was granted a patent on something so obvious. It is like letting McDonald’s patent the combination of a burger, fries, and a coke. Are you kidding me! Come on patent office, get with the program. You should not be accepting patents on obvious software solutions.

UPDATE: looks like people agree we have a problem. Now how do we fix it?
