Seriously excellent work by Newegg. I'm worried, however, that they've now made themselves well-known enough in the industry to avoid future targeting by patent trolls. Honestly, who would go after Newegg at this point with their current track record? In the long run, this probably helps Newegg a lot with good PR and fewer trolls attacking them. With the exception of the specific cases they've already won, I just don't see this really helping the little guys over the long run. Patent trolls are going to remain a huge headache until we get serious reform.
