It's not the name 1-click, it's the process of single click checkouts. Amazon patented it, and actually Apple pays a license fee to use it (they were the first to pay the fee, if I remember correctly - of course it could be a 1 cent per million use fee that is intended to legitimize the patent rather than actually earn revenue for Amazon, but I think Amazon's smarter than that).

Huh? Who the hell is talking about patents? When stevenj said "so is 1-click" he was referring to the argument that "app store" is a generic name in the context of trademarks. You are confusing trademarks and patents and not making any sense.

Now you are just purposely confusing trademarks with patents in a kneejerk defense of Apple.
