Sony has won the legal battle’s first round versus L.G over the alleged Blu-Ray Patent infringement. Zombiegamer previously reported on L.G winning a preliminary injunction against Sony which ordered European customs officers to seize shipments of Playstation 3 consoles.
The ruling meant that all new PS3s have to be confiscated as they are imported into the UK and the rest of Europe for at least 10 days. This back-fired on L.G as Sony has now won the first round of a legal battle lifting a prejudgment seizure order on PlayStation 3 stock.
LG has also been ordered to pay a fine of €130,000. For every day LG does not pay, the fine will be increased by €200,000.
