According to overseas media reports, the Korean electronics company LG of Sony PS3 manufacturers of Blu-ray technology infringement case is now in the latest progress.  According to a decision issued by the Civil court in The Hague in the Netherlands, all PS3 hosts will be detained and placed in the Danish warehouses for at least 10 days in the coming months. At present, Sony is trying to lift the ban, while LG is actively seeking to extend the ban time limit.  LG also has the right to apply for the destruction of these game consoles, but the Guardian says this is unlikely to happen. "The company is currently investigating the matter and is not in a position to disclose it," a Sony spokesman said of the current situation. LG was reported to have filed the same lawsuit in the US last month. V. In a complaint to the United States International Trade Commission (ITC), LG accuses Sony's PS3 game consoles and Blu-ray discs of violating its 4 patents, "data-engraving" is alleged to have copied LG's equivalents, while "some electronic devices equipped with Blu-ray players" point directly to PS3.  In addition, Sony HD TV also contains 4 patents applied by LG. If convicted of infringement, Sony will pay LG for every PS3 it sells.  As for PS3 's nearly 50 million sales worldwide, the compensation will not be a small sum.  It was speculated that LG's move was a strong response to Sony's December last year's move to infringe on its patents for LG handsets and mobile devices. The Guardian also points out that PS3 inventories in Europe will be depleted within 2-3 weeks, and that if LG's extension of the ban is approved, it will cause a big problem for Sony.
