Looks like Microsoft’s gone ahead and gotten a patent for Wish Lists right on New Year’s day. Here’s part of the abstract from the patent:

An electronic item list system and method, such as a wish or gift list, for an electronic shopping mall/online shopping portal, or an item list system provided as a software service. The system and method provides a user with the ability to create a list of items that the user would like others to purchase for the user as a gift or as a list of items that the user would like to retain for a later purchase.

One more reason to fight against Patents.
