There’s a bitter court battle happening between Sony and LG in Netherlands, over a disputed patents, with LG claiming Sony’s infringed on four of its Blu-Ray patents. And with the country being Sony’s main hub to ship PS3s to the European nations, things could get really ugly.
Now, in the heat of the ongoing court battle, the number of PS3s confiscated by Dutch authorities have been revealed. It’s a whopping 300,000 units. According to gamer.nl, per PSLS, 225,000 PS3s were seized from Sony’s distribution center in Tilburg last week, and another 100,000 taken by customs at the port of Rotterdam and Schiphol.
According to gamer.nl, a full court case will be held on November 18th, that will ultimately determine whether LG’s claims have any merit.
If LG wins, Sony will have to pay hundreds of millions in royalties to the firm. If LG loses, however, Sony could basically dry up its accounts.
We’ll keep you posted.
