What could NOVL contribute to e-commerce?

From todays NYT

Barnesandnoble.com Faces Suit by
Amazon Over Patent

By LESLIE KAUFMAN

mazon.com has filed suit against rival Internet book and music
seller Barnesand noble.com, accusing it of illegally copying its
patented checkout system and demanding that it cease its use
immediately.

The suit, filed on Thursday night in Federal
District Court in Seattle, is the latest chapter in a
storied and sometime litigious rivalry. But if
Amazon.com is successful in the suit, it could
have broad ramifications for the development of
E-commerce.

Retailers that use variations of the popular
"one-click" checkout method, which allows
customers to make repeat purchases with one
click of the mouse instead of having to fill out credit card and billing
address with each shopping trip, could be forced to desist or pay a
licensing fee to Amazon.com.
