A Patent will defend a product, process, invention, machine or plant
produce by asecual reproduction. There are four types of attributes
to a patent. These are that the patent must be patentable, it must be
novel or new, useful, and nonobvious. While the plaintiff has a valid
point in stating the difference between the system being used in a
brick and mortar are different than the online store, that doesn't
change the fact that it is a common idea being used by many other
companies. This was pointed out by the defendant. I agree with the
judges ruling as the patent is not valid. It is not valid because it is not
nonobvious. There also isn't really any way to prove that it is novel or
new.
