NewEgg defeats patent troll, celebrates with sale

NewEgg is holding a 24 hour ‘When we win, you win’ sale. The ‘win’ is in response to a lawsuit that was decided in their favor over patent troll TQP Development regarding SSL, basic online encryption. NewEgg has not lost a patent troll case trial since 2006, according to the press release.

“We chose many years ago to fight meritless patent lawsuits not just as a matter of principle, but for our customers as well. Companies that settle with patent trolls ultimately pass those costs on to their customers,” said Lee Cheng, Newegg’s Chief Legal Officer. “We want to show that our victories come with benefits for our customers. When we win, our customers win.”

The ‘When we win, you win’ sale is going on until midnight of July 28th with up to 77% off select gadgets and hardware components. The sale includes tablets, laptops, headphones, SSDs, TVs, motherboards, RAM, cases, power supplies, surround sound/speakers, and many more items.
