Amazon.com has received patent rights to send its products to customers by unmanned drone aircraft. The company is the largest U.S.-based online seller of products. It delivers those products to customers electronically, by mail and by other delivery services.
Now, the company has received a patent for its planned drone delivery system. A patent is “an official document that gives a person or company the right to be the only one that makes or sells a product for a certain period of time.”
