The thing is that while wireless power is cool, it has been around for decades. People have been waiting to use wireless power for many things, the reason why they haven't has been due to efficiency. Recently things have been improving in this area (eg witricity), and so start making inventions described in this patent practical. Any invention behind this patent is purely down to the researchers working on the wireless power, low power electronics and screen tech. If anything this is going to slow development down because the people actually doing and funding the research have to licence this 'invention' from Bezos (if it's granted).
