Patenting inevitable software functionality is just soo odd to me. It's awful that companies like Soverain software who obtained shopping cart patents were able to go after companies such as Amazon and settle because the cost of battling simply wasn't worth it. To say one cannot have an online shopping cart is as crazy as saying "You can't have a cash register in your brick and mortar store."

Be glad they didn't claim they own a patent on wheels.
lol, what's funny is as I was commenting I thought the same thing "An APPARATUS that contains no more than 18 wheels and no less than 2." and at the gas pump we would see fuel tax and a patent tax! lol

Quote frankly I'm getting sick of the work apparatus!
