What they've really done is set themselves up as patent trolls in the eyes of consumers. The simplest explanation for this tomfoolery is that Amazon, Google, and Apple are simply protecting themselves from future patent trolls by claiming the patents first. What we discuss here is simply the interpretation I, or previous reporters and bloggers, came to when examining some of the patents eCommerce and tech giants have claimed in recent years. This made me wonder: If Amazon could get away with this stuff, what have other legitimate companies tried to claim as their own? And are these patented techniques already widely used by other companies?īefore we hop right into this mess, let me reassure you that I’m no patent lawyer. Are you supposed to go back through all your past photography and toss the photos? Will your product images need to be updated? Who knows? So, there's one patent you might be infringing upon. Now, why Amazon wants to put the kibosh on any other person using this particular photography technique, which, by the way, has been around since, oh, the dawn of photography itself, is anyone’s guess. Who the heck thinks they can patent photos on a white background? Amazon, of course. Photos on a white background have now been patented. And then Stephen Colbert soundly trounced them for their stupidity. They went and patented something so incredibly ridiculous that the world gave a collective gasp of disbelief. Upon first glance, this legit company has no reason to claim ridiculous patents, right? They’ve got enough going on and plenty of money coming in. On occasion, their craftiness pays off, and they manage to either squash new technology that could change our lives for the better, or they bilk a legitimate company-the company that actually did the work to develop the ideas-out of millions of dollars. These companies set up shop and do nothing but patent ideas that someone else might have in the future so that they can swoop in and take everyone to court for infringement.
