US Patent Office SealAdd another entry to the stupid patents list… this one from Amazon (actually, it’s subsidiary A9). In summary, the patent (7287042) encompasses adding an unformated string to the end of a URL that can be used for searching. For example: if my site supported it, “www.tdistler.com/Stupid Patents” would generate search results for “Stupid Patents”.
