If you don't stand up to a bully, then you will always be the victim of bullies. I would imagine some patent trolls think twice about going after Newegg because they will fight. Fighting in court is not what a patent troll wants, they want the easy victim that will surrender easily. Because if they go to court, not only does it cost them money but it could cost them their patent. It's better to go after an easier target. It's why Wal-Mart was known for fighting all lawsuits back in the day. Because after the first time you settle with someone that "slipped" in the aisles you will suddenly find that someone "slips" in your stores nearly every day.
