I had no idea Cloudflare was combating parent trolls!
Honestly surprised Sable was able to get settlements from Cisco, Fortinet, Check Point, SonicWall, and Juniper Networks. They're not small names in the industry.
It was only Cloudflare's legal strategy which managed to invalidate the patents.
Yeah, I hate it when they troll their kids!
I'm glad somebody stepped up after Lee Cheng left Newegg.
NewEgg is such a shell of its former self. They went from fighting patent trolls to platforming scammers.
It seems like as soon as a web store makes the move to being a marketplace where you have no idea who you're actually buying from, it all goes to shit.
To clarify, they're not going after patent trolls afaik, just going to court when they're targeted by them (instead of forking up a payment to the patent troll company to avoid that). Iirc, the last patent troll they took to court ended up collapsing and isn't operating anymore.
Yes, that was Blackbird Technologies in 2019 (it's mentioned in the article).
