Canadian Government Appeals Amazon "One-Click" Decision
On November 15, 2010, the Attorney General of Canada and Canada's Commissioner of Patents filed a Notice of Appeal in Canada's Federal Court of Appeal in a case involving the patentability of Amazon's "One-Click" invention. If the Court of Appeal overturns the earlier decision, it could make Canada's patent law diverge from U.S. patent law regarding the patentability of some (or potentially all) software.
