LG has been nothing but an embarrassment to the electronic industry for the past few years. Can't feel sorry for them, especially when they asked for it!

A quick summary;

Sony wins the appeal made against LG and LG has to give all the 300.000 confiscated PS3's back. For each consecutive day LG hasn't returned the PS3's yet...LG is fined 200.000 a day. And LG has to pay legal fee's of about 130.000 euro's. As of tomorrow morning 11.00 pm, PS3's are allowed to be distributed again.
Funny fact is that LG reported a net loss of 180.000 because Sony infringed patents...but now they have to pay up even more.

To be clear, this is only the case regarding the confisquation of PS3's. The cases of patent infringments are still going on.
Not a real victory for Sony but at least LG got put down for their overreacting.

Noord-Holland and Zuid-Holland are indeed 2 of our 12 provinces. But Holland (like you said) isnt a province, but the name of the country.

I knew that education in the Netherlands (note: NOT Holland) was pretty bad but this makes me cry. We don't call our own country Holland...we call it Nederland (translated the Netherlands). You know what, I give up. If your kindergarten teacher couldn't teach you this...I...just...give up.

I think LG is going to either drop the rest of their suit or try to settle out of court. They can't afford to go 12 rounds with Sony if this is is any indication. :lol:

This didn't say anything about the patent stuff. Just the stored PS3's can be released to the public now. And LG has to pay the damages from this. 130,000 euros and maybe more I don't know.

It only covers the console seized in Holland that is all, and i still can't believe everyone is making out LG are the bad guys here, Sony are tring the same with LG phones. Its almost like Sony are allowed to do the same thing and people support them but god forbid anyone tries it against them Sony are the poor victim.
