Newegg: All Our Shopping Cart are NOT Belong to You!

Or: Screw Patent Trolls!


How Newegg crushed the “shopping cart” patent and saved online retail


Interesting article, important verdict for online shopping.  Yay, Newegg!


Quote
For Newegg's chief legal officer Lee Cheng, it's a huge validation of the strategy the company decided to pursue back in 2007: not to settle with patent trolls. Ever.


"We basically took a look at this situation and said, this is [nonsense]," said Cheng in an interview with Ars. "We saw that if we paid off this patent holder, we'd have to pay off every patent holder this same amount. This is the first case we took all the way to trial. And now, nobody has to pay Soverain jack squat for these patents."

Your agonizer, please.

He is right. There should be no one owner on how to make a website work with a credit card.

Isn't that one of the first things they would teach you how to do in web site programming 101 right after "hello world", layout, and HTML?

And I stood before him, and I sang unto her, and it appeared to listen. His very countenance rippled like the sea, and the sound of my own voice came back to me, distorted. For a moment I thought she was mocking me, or it was nonsapient and mimicking me. Then I understood: the sounds were not important.. it was how I affected his sounds and how she affected mine that transmitted the message.
