Blog supported re-exam of Amazon '411 achieves initial success

Klingman's US 5,729,594 was one of the patents causing trouble for Amazon in the re-exam of the one-click patent, 5,960,411.

The Register noted that 21 of 26 claims in Amazon's controversial '411 patent for shopping with a single mouse click have been rejected by the US Patent Office in a first Office Action in re-exam, which was initiated by Peter Calveley of Auckland, New Zealand, who filed evidence of prior art with funding from readers of his blog.
