How Newegg crushed the "shopping cart" patent and saved online retail
http://j.mp/VHfpTd (ars technica)
"Soverain isn't in the e-commerce business; it's in the higher-margin
business of filing patent lawsuits against e-commerce companies. And
it's been quite successful until now. The company's plan to extract a
patent tax of about one percent of revenue from a huge swath of online
retailers was snuffed out last week by Newegg and its lawyers, who won
an appeal ruling [PDF] that invalidates the three patents Soverain
used to spark a vast patent war."
