Do you think it would put a damper on this activity if the patent office were to
double the fees associated with filing a patent for every subsequent attempt to
get a patent?
Let's say the fee for a patent is $5000. If it fails, the next time it's
$10000. If that fails, the next time is $20000. Didn't Apple try nine times to
get one of their patents?[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Of which there were a lot in existence before the Internet became
widespread.
I pointed out at one point that if a shopping cart existed, and the only
substantive change between it and the next version was the network, that
the patent should fail on grounds of obviousness. He was unable to
disagree directly with me, but also wouldn't turn down a request to file said
agent.

>you had to store an session ID in the URL that would
propagate from one phase of the shopping experience to the next. IIRC (this is
about 4 years ago), I believed there was prior art for this method, though I
forget why I have that opinion as my memory is
I've forgotten the name of the shopping cart program, but it was written in
either PERL or Python, and described (with source code) in a book that was
published in 1997 or 1998.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
