How Newegg crushed the "shopping cart" patent and saved online retail. ⇒
28 January 2013, mid-morning
I have to say, Newegg’s Chief Legal Officer, Lee Cheng, sounds like a mother-fucking boss.
It’s actually surprising how quickly people forget what Lemelson did. [referring to Jerome Lemelson, an infamous patent troll who used so-called “submarine patents” to make billions in licensing fees.] This activity is very similar. Trolls right now “submarine” as well. They use timing, like he used timing.
Then they pop up and say “Hello, surprise! Give us your money or we will shut you down!” Screw them. Seriously, screw them. You can quote me on that.
