(Nasdaq: INFO), a pioneering provider of personalized information agents and Internet sites today announced that its Company Sleuth site (http://www.companysleuth.com) uncovered a key patent for Amazon.com, Inc.

Company Sleuth was instrumental in uncovering the collaborative filtering patent for Amazon.com's BookMatcher service (US Patent No.# 6,064,980). The patent is quoted by CNET news sources as a development that could "spell trouble for dozens of e-commerce sites that use similar technology to recommend books, videos or other products to customers." The Company Sleuth site's more than 600,000 registered users learned of the patent 6 days before the story appeared in the press. On May 30th of this year Company Sleuth users also learned that an Internet billing patent (US Patent No.# 6,070,150) was awarded to Microsoft Corporation (Nasdaq: MSFT). The patent involves a billing system that enables vendors to submit a bill directly to consumers over the Internet.
