Also, Newegg have always stated they would fight every single patent case to the death. And they haven't just stated that, they've gone ahead and done it.
That's actually not only awesome, but smart. You do not want to sue Newegg for patent infringement. Notice how fast that company dropped their patent suit? Unfortunately for them, Newegg never, ever gives in. Ever.

Blue Jeans Cable took much the same approach to Monster Cable. The response was an all-time classic. I've posted snippets here before but can't resist doing it again:
if you file on this sort of basis, you are in
Rule 11 frivolous-claim territory
...
You are required, as a matter of legal ethics,
to display good faith and professional candor
in your dealings with adverse parties, and you
have fallen miserably short of your ethical
responsibilities
...
Read the patents narrowly, and Monster loses;
read them broadly, and Monster loses.
...
I spent nineteen years in litigation practice
...
I am "uncompromising" in the most literal sense
of the word. If Monster Cable proceeds with
litigation against me I will pursue the same
merits-driven approach: I do not compromise with
bullies and I would rather spend fifty thousand
dollars on defense than give you a dollar of
unmerited settlement funds.
...
Not only am I unintimidated by litigation;
I sometimes rather miss it.
