Jury: Newegg infringes Spangenberg patent, must pay $2.3 million
http://bit.ly/1iaAV0I
"Newegg, an online retailer that has made a name for itself fighting
the non-practicing patent holders sometimes called "patent trolls,"
sits on the losing end of a lawsuit tonight. An eight-person jury came
back shortly after 7:00pm and found that the company infringed all
four asserted claims of a patent owned by TQP Development, a company
owned by patent enforcement expert Erich Spangenberg. The jury also
found that the patent was valid, apparently rejecting arguments by
famed cryptographer Whitfield Diffie. Diffie took the stand on Friday
to argue on behalf of Newegg and against the patent."
