I thought Amazon had the concept of picking-up shelves and moving them about locked-up due to Kiva patents. Is that not true?

Ah the free market at work.

Are these patents enforceable in India? Seems like the US patent system might really hinder US tech development outside of Amazon here.

Generally you have to get a patent on a country basis though there are some treaties that make it easier to do in a bunch of countries (perhaps EU?)
