Abstract

The article discusses a court case wherein the Federal Court of Canada held that business methods are patentable in Canada. It states that Amazon.com Inc. filed a single action ordering patent with the Commissioner of Patents. Judge Phelan reportedly rejected the Commissioner's analysis that Amazon did not meet the definition of a patentable art and were not technological.
