The benefit for the company is they don't have to pay. He is a legal representative of the company who has lead a winning strategy of vigourously defending against patent lawsuits instead of by default paying a licensing fee. Since some of the fees are between 2-12 million from the article this has real impact on the bottomline of the company. Overall the strategy seems to have a direct monetary benefit for the company. now the question can be asked if the amount of money they are saving in licenses make up for the legal fees. apparently through these actions overall patent litigators are declining to pursue newegg for these licensing fees and going after easier targets.
