Jason Schultz, an IP lawyer at UC Berkeley School of Law, said Cordance’s Internet commerce patent on an “object-based online transaction infrastructure” is “just as suspect” as the Amazon 1-click patent.… “This is the hard lesson that Amazon learned and that a lot of software companies learn,” Schultz said. “You think these patents are great when you own them, but really it’s a minefield.”
