The chief legal officer of Newegg _wants_ these cases and to take them to completion in attempts to correct the problems with software patents. One should be optimistic because Newegg is putting up the good fight and winning rather often. If it were almost any other company, you'd be hearing about a settlement if you heard anything at all. As a Newegg customer, I am glad that some of my dollars are going towards these kinds of legal costs and that's the type of thing that comes to mind when making decisions about where to buy.
