Amazon photo patent prompts Internet uproar

STEVEN IVY P.C. -PATENT LAW - The entire tech world seems to be up in arms that the patent office would even consider a patent for what is considered a basic photography technique: shooting photos on a white background and making it look seamless. Although this technique has been used for decades, it has just now caught the attention of everyone, including Stephen Colbert on Comedy Central. Colbert joked, "Amazon now has legal ownership of the idea of displaying a thing." http://lnkd.in/bV_PNWU
