[Update: It looks like Sony won the injunction, and once again the PS3s runneth free! FOSS Patents cites two Dutch sources, along with an independent source. "InsideGamer.nl reports that all seized PlayStations will have to be released, no more seizures will take place, and LG has to pay legal fees amounting to €130,000 (approximately US$180,000)," FOSS Patents reports. "For each day that LG fails to comply, it will be fined at a rate of €200,000 (approximately US$275,000)."]
Sony and LG's protracted patent battle drags on, with PS3s across the Netherlands paying the price. The Guardian reports, "Dutch police have seized several thousand PlayStation 3s at Sony's biggest European warehouse in the latest stage of its acrimonious patent battle with LG."
Following last week's preliminary injunction that ordered customs officers to seize thousands of PS3 consoles entering Europe, Sony will be trying to have the injunction lifted "at an emergency hearing in the Hague's civil court of justice" today. LG will likely request that the consoles be destroyed (no!) while Sony will request that the seizures stop.
"However, this is only a preliminary injunction, that has resulted in shipments being temporarily withheld," a Sony spokesperson told The Guardian. "It does not indicate any acceptance of LG's allegations. We consider these allegations unwarranted, and will take appropriate measures including filing a claim of opposition to courts in the Netherlands."
A court judgment could be returned as early as today, The Guardian posits. And while this is limited to Europe for now, we'd like to remind you that LG is trying to start trouble in the US as well. You wouldn't like us when we're angry, LG.

又一次證明了, 和Sony作對是沒有好下場的。Sony成功地上訴了LG申請的injunction。LG需付上約$180,000美元的法律費用(此數目尚未計上將來Sony可能因為禁售令而追討的損失賠償)。被扣留的約300,000台的PS3(市值約$6千萬美元)亦必需盡數歸還。注意LG控告Sony侵權的案件目前還在審理階段, 只不過是Sony推翻了LG申請的禁售令而已。 |
