I am 90% sure you are correct, but there's always a possibility, in this case there was less probability, that's all.

“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

| M.U.G.E.N said: Here's some good details on the situation " Moments ago, a court in The Netherlands ruled against LG in an ongoing patent battle against Sony. Freeing up PS3s in the country – and therefore Europe – the move was a major victory for the Japanese technology giant, but Sony are by no means in the clear, with LG still set to push for royalties that could be as high as $350 million. To find out what the case could mean, and just how close Sony were to losing, PlayStation LifeStyle talked to award winning intellectual property activist, author and FOSS Patents blogger Florian Mueller.
In a statement, Florian told us: It was of the utmost importance for Sony to achieve this decision. Sony wants a comprehensive settlement of all patent disputes between the two companies and now it will be able to seek such a solution without being under pressure. I believe Sony is particularly interested in collecting royalties on LG’s smartphones. As Florian had an inside source watching the court case we asked how close the verdict actually was, and whether it was a clear cut victory from the start, or whether Sony managed to pull a victory from the skin of their teeth. Mueller replied: When the judge announced a recess, most people in the room thought he was going to return and uphold the order for the time being. This was a surprising turn of events in Sony’s favor. We also asked if LG would continue to push for $350 million. I’m sure their demands are the same, but they now have less leverage than before. Florian also commented on whether the ruling boded well for Sony in future cases: That depends on the details of the ruling, which I don’t know yet. If the court established some principles that will also be relevant to many other cases, then the answer is yes. And if the fines placed on LG were reasonable: Those fines are of a purely theoretical nature. I’m sure LG will comply with the ruling. LG will likely continue to press Sony for financial reimbursement over the claimed patent infringements, but such rulings will be far more drawn out than the quick prejudgement case held today." |
This. I was thinking, with less refinements, something like this even before reading it. I'd add that I'm quite sure they'll find an agreement: once they are again on an even ground, they'll both try to get some advantages from what they'll concede each other.
YES!!!! finally no more things affecting the PS3 sales
Wait... does this mean im not human?

the first 3 quarters of this thread said that ps3 won the entire lawsuit, 3/4 of the way down people retaliated when told that sony had not actually won the court case but overturning the injunction... and now apparently sony is very successful now...
I dont get it... the fact that LG got an injunction in the first place points to an LG win for mine...

So LG win because they filed a case against Sony?
That must mean Sony has already won against geohotz too, since he had to show his HDD to Sony lol.
LG tried and failed, while Sony successfully defended their PS3 for the time being.

The fact that the injuction was overturned (expected btw...) is a point in favor of Sony. 4 US patents in a EU court is a predictable win for Sony. Moreover the infringement is already prescripted in many EU countries. This looked from the start like a desperate move from LG.
