Would the Amazon “one-click” shopping cart ordering model be patentable under the Commission proposal?
The European Patent Office has yet to come to a decision on the related European application, so it would not be appropriate to comment on whether there is any patentable subject-matter in the application as a whole. However, a patent with the breadth of claims which has been granted in the United States would be highly unlikely to be considered to make a “technical contribution” in the EU under the terms of the proposed Directive.
