LG vs Sony re Blu Ray patents: decision public

- ,
Much has been speculated on the grounds for the "border seizure" obtained by LG against the import of Sony PS3 game consoles into the EU/Netherlands (this Kat has not been innocent, either, and proven wrong).

The ever vigilant EPLAW Patent Blog now delivers the goods, the actual judgment by the Rechtbank Breda of 28 February 2011. It appears the seizure is based on art. 70 para. 7 Dutch Patent Act.

This link should go to a Google translated version of the document, but I don't know how stable it is. If it is not working anymore, here is a description how to use Google translate on PDFs; pasting the link directly into Google translate did not work for me (document too large error).

    Actually there was also a border detention/seizure (no court decision necessary). Both seizures have been lifted at the request of Sony 30 minutes ago by the President of the The Hague court.

    Dutch newssite www.nu.nl reports that in addition to last weeks detention 225,000 PS3's have been seized today at Sony's wharehouse in Tilburg (the Netherlands). The total value of the detained goods is said to be a whopping 43 million euro..

All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.

It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
