arrière-plan brûlée / by Richard

Amazon recently won a patent for perhaps the most commonly used photography technique around: snapping a picture of an object against a white background.

This is the most stupid pattern I heard of, how can the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) accept such pattern? It's an abuse of copyright and a mockery of the patent system, now can Amazon sue all magazines and catalog producers, and many others.

Amazon can’t patent shooting on a white background because Amazon didn't invent that technique, so stupid.
