Slashdot (http://games.slashdot.org/story/11/03/13/0133254/Dutch-Court-Lifts-PlayStation-3-Seizure-Order) writes: The recent European import ban (http://games.slashdot.org/story/11/02/28/2358233/Sony-PlayStation-3-Imports-Temporarily-Banned-In-Europe) against the PlayStation 3 has been lifted. Reportedly, LG had already succeeded in seizing about 300,000 PlayStations (http://fosspatents.blogspot.com/2011/03/lg-achieved-seizure-of-300000.html), but a court in the Dutch city of The Hague overturned the prejudgment seizure order and told LG to return all PS3s to Sony. Sony uses the Netherlands as its main entry point for all European PlayStation sales, and can now return to normal. While the temporary ban has been lifted, LG can still assert its Blu-ray patents against Sony in a regular proceeding, which will go to trial on November 18. LG asks for patent royalties of $2.50 per Blu-ray device and believes Sony already owes it $150-180 million
