Amazon just received a patent on a studio setup.
More accurately, they patented shooting against a seamless white background. (Using certain ISO settings, elevations, etc.)
This method has been around for almost as long as photography has existed. Some photographers have even used the exact setup described in the patent.
There is nothing new or novel being patented.
The application did not meet the requirements set out in law for receiving a patent.
But the Patent Office issued one.
At one time, you could find people like Albert Einstein working at the Patent Office. The people that granted this patent are no Einsteins.
(First encountered at DIY Photography, but well covered by other sites.)
