Dunno if you saw that the US PTO is really clamping down on Software
patents. Wonder if that will invalidate FS's claim? There was an
interesting article about how Google might loose some of their patents

also a bit of discussion on Slashdot

John:Unfortunately this is a problem with software patents in general. If
you think this is outrageous, I do remember one case from earlier this month
where one company went after small startups that had a wishlist feature on
their website. Not big companies like Amazon, but small startups. This kind
of thing has been happening for a while among technology companies but
nobody seems like they're actually going to get off their butts and do
something about it.
