http://ppt.cc/M!_y European customs officers have been ordered to seize shipments of Playstation 3s after LG won a preliminary injunction against Sony in an acrimonious patent battle between the two Asian electronics giants. 欧盟海关命令暂停 PS3主机输入，尖锐的专利权战争中 LG 暂得初步战果。 The ruling by the civil court of justice in the Hague means that all new PS3s have to be confiscated as they are imported into the UK and the rest of Europe for at least 10 days. 位於荷兰海牙的民事法庭，下达暂时扣押所有输入到英国以及欧盟其他地区 PS3主机10天的命令。 If the injunction was extended it could mean consoles disappearing from high street shelves. It is understood that Sony and computer games retailers typically have about two to three weeks' worth of PS3s in stock across the continent. 如果禁令展延的话，可能代表 PS3将自欧洲的街头消失。据了解，SONY以其其他 零售通路目前的主机存货仅能支持 2～ 3周。 Tens of thousands of PS3s were seized by customs officers last week in the Netherlands, the Guardian has learnt, in a dispute that centres on Sony's allegedly infringing use of Blu-ray technology belonging to LG. 数以千计的主机在上周遭到荷兰海关查扣，据英国《卫报》报导，此一诉讼肇因 LG指控SONY侵犯该公司於蓝光光碟上的专利权。 Sony, which imports around 100,000 of the consoles a week, is frantically trying to get the ban lifted. The Japanese company has the right to appeal to the European patents office. SONY上周申请输入约十万台 PS3主机全遭扣留，然而SONY有权向欧盟提出申诉。 LG meanwhile, could apply to the same patents office to get the 10-day import ban extended. Alternatively, the Korean company could apply for a court order to get the consoles destroyed but it is highly unlikely the court would grant a request to eliminate the warehoused goods. 然而LG方面同时有权要求欧盟官方延长扣押禁令，将扣押期限再度延长10天。同 时，LG也可以提出申请，要求法院下令销毁这批主机，但法院批准销毁的可能性 非常低。 LG argues that Sony PS3s infringe a number of its patents relating to playback of Blu-ray Discs. LG called for an investigation into the PS3's Blu-ray use in a filing with the US international trade commission earlier this month, and said it sought a "permanent exclusion order ... excluding entry into the United States" of the games console. LG指控SONY的 PS3主机侵犯该公司於蓝光光碟产品上的部份专利，对此LG像美国 国际贸易仲裁委员会提出调查申请，并声称将请求该委员会做出「永久排除」的 命令，这代表 PS3主机日後无法输入美国。 If Sony is found to have infringed LG patents, it could be forced to compensate the South Korean manufacturer for each PS3 it has sold around the world, which could cost hundreds of millions of pounds. 倘若调查结果确实发现SONY侵犯LG的专利，委员会将可要求SONY针对每一台已经 卖出的主机强制补偿LG的损失，金额至少逼近百万英镑。 The two technology giants are involved in a complex web of seven separate patent disputes, with Sony also seeking to block shipments of LG smartphones to the US. SONY与LG目前互控对方侵权的案子至少有七件正在交手中，其中SONY也要求禁止 输入LG的智慧型手机进入美国。 Rotterdam and Schiphol are the main import points for PS3s for both the UK and continental Europe. The consoles are being stockpiled in Dutch warehouses until it becomes clear how the case will develop. 洛特丹（荷兰最大商港，位於莱茵河出海口）与史基浦（阿姆斯特丹国际机场） 乃是 PS3主机进入欧陆以及不列颠群岛的最大管道，但现在这些躺在仓库里的主 机必须等待诉讼结果明朗後，才能决定去留。 A spokesman for Sony Playstation said: "We are currently looking into this matter, and cannot make any comments at this point in time." LG declined to comment, although sources close to the company confirmed the current legal position. SONY PS游戏主机事业部门的发言人表示：我们非常关心这件事情的发展，但暂 时还无法做出任何评论。LG也一样拒绝评论，但接近公司的管道证实了目前的法 律行动。 Sony has sold more than 3m PS3s in the UK since its launch in March 2007. The Japanese manufacturer is understood to have a stockpile of around 6,500 PS3s in Germany and 10,000 in the UK. 据统计SONY自2007年三月开始已经在英国卖出至少三百万台PS3 主机。根据了解 ，目前在德国紧剩6500台库存，在英国也仅有万余台。 However, the majority of PS3 sales around Europe are pre-orders, meaning they are already sold before they gather dust at warehouses in the UK and elsewhere. Stockpiles could run out within two to three weeks if the ban is not lifted, the Guardian understands. 然而，PS3 主机在欧洲最主要的贩售方式是预购，换言之这些已经卖出去的主机 现在必须躺在仓库里面积灰尘。《卫报》推测，按照这种销售速度，若禁令不再 三周内解除，主机供应将面临断炊。 I'm sure it's already been submitted, but LG won a temporary injuction against Sony, and as a result European customs have been ordered to confiscate all PS3 shipments for 10 days. 两大电子巨擎的战争，LG目前取得暂时的领先，欧洲海关将按照临时禁令扣押所 有运往欧洲的PS3 主机长达10天。 ****** 本篇文章转录前请先知会本人并取得同意。 -- ○ ____ _ _ _ _ ____ _ _ ____ _____ ____ 。 ★(_ _)( \( )( \/ )( ___)( \( )(_ _)( _ )( _ \ ｏ _)(_ ) ( \ / )__) ) ( )( )(_)( ) / ● ‧ (____)(_)\_) \/ (____)(_)\_) (__) (_____)(_)\_) ★ ｏ --
