Ruling on Monday, the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit upheld a lower court's ruling, finding in favor of internet retailer Amazon.com regarding the ownership of the firm's '1-click' checkout system.
The system in question allows Amazon customers who have previously stored information, including credit card numbers and shipping addresses, to place an order without having to reenter the stored information. Amazon stores each order placed using the 1-click system for ninety minutes, during which time the order can be modified or cancelled. At the end of ninety minutes, the orders remaining in the system are finalized; once the orders have been finalized and the goods have been shipped, Amazon requests funds from the user's credit card.
Delivering their verdict in the patent ownership dispute between IPXL Holdings and Amazon, the Circuit Court judges upheld the judgment of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia granting summary judgment in favor of Amazon.
