I still think it is unusal for a patent claim to get to this point. The risk as I see it lays squarely with LG and with the inherent subjectiveness of Patents it is very difficult to be sure of your rights. Currently they will be paying for the warehouses and any other costs of inpounding goods during this 10 period and any further extentions until they get to the point that the product has to be removed or destroyed.
It is the high stakes of this sort of action that normally means nothing happens and it just becomes a protracted legal issue. The issue has already rumbled for years I think this action from LG is going to focus some minds but whoever thinks business is not personal is deluded and this action could spur others to stick it out... Very high stakes indeed.
