Newegg was definitely a role model for us at Cloudflare. However, we followed Cloudflare's approach on the prior art search and ethic complain this time.
I agree. However, they other companies sued are much bigger than Bitmovin, so the do have the resources to defend themselves. We have a legal team of one. That said, we did put some links to prior art in the blog post and would be happy to help in other ways.
That's a great idea! If you have further thoughts on how to do that, I would love to hear them. DM me and we can set up some time to chat, if you are interested.
