Steve Jobs licensed Amazon’s one-click patent for $1M in one phone call
It worked out well for both of them.  I recall, at the time, when Apple did the deal for $1mm, that it provided a lot of validity to Amazon that their patent was for real, and any vendor that was directly competitive with Amazon would likely think, at least a little bit longer, before directly ignoring Amazon&#x27;s patent on &quot;one-click&quot; purchasing.
