Story: Amazon patents gender stereotyping

It seems they just want to show off to investors how smart they are doing research. Then they can go and write press releases about how ŤAmazon is driving innovation with over 250+ patentsť.
Which is fine; they even have already issued 30000 software patents in the EU. The EPO wins money on that, Amazon's patent lawyers as well, Amazon's investors are happy, all is well.
But never do they try to make these patents legal in Europe, or uphold them in court like it's being done in Japan or the USA.
We don't want them.
