Sony and LG continue to be held in large PS3 by European customs

The Dutch customs had to detain about 10,000 PS3 hosts over the weekend as a result of the ongoing dispute over Blu-ray technology infringement between Sony and South Korea's LG Electronics company, the Guardian reported.　　It is reported that, due to a decision of the Hague Civil court in the Netherlands, in the next 10 days, all products involving a patent dispute over Blu-ray technology, including Sony's PS3 mainframe, must be detained when they arrive in Europe.　　However, the Guardian quoted Sony official sources that the Sony European branch will normally reserve about 2-3 weeks of shipments of PS3 for a rainy days, so no accident, the temporary seizure decision will not be in the European market PS3 supply caused too much impact. At the same time, the Guardian stated that the parties to the dispute had been notified that they could defend the decision.　　Sony could raise objections to the seizure, and LG should ask for an indefinite extension.　　LG had previously submitted an application to the United States International Trade Commission to ban PS3 sales in North America before the Languang-led patent dispute was reached, but the request was not supported by ITC. It is believed that LG's move could be a response to the alleged infringement of LG-produced mobile phones by Sony to ITC, which would face a whopping $ hundreds of millions of trillion in compensation if it were convicted of infringement.
