Software patents seem much easier to work around, than business model patents. The former must describe a precise methodology for doing something. The latter on the other hand, control customer experience. For instance, the Amazon 1-Click patent, would stop others from providing the same customer experience. That is, regardless of the technical _methodology_ used to provide that customer experience. To what extent, can such a "plug-in" patent be used as a B-M patent, hence controlling the _entire_ idea of embedded, interactive, "thinggies" on the web? (Scary thought!) -- Reza
