  I thought, seriously about the scenario where in a company is moved to place factories in countries that refuse to allow import of items that "violate" patents. When the absurdity reaches Mexican standoff. The American oligarch will go crying to their cronies at the WIPO. That's coming in 5,4,3....

  The ban has already been lifted, and I think LG got fined in some way.

    Re:

    Why would LG get fined unless they provided false information. If the courts ordered it, then it's the court's fault.

  Why is it that the principals here seem to be of the view that companies are unable to entertain the fact that what they use against others may be used against them?
  
  Of course they know this, so to suggest they are ignorant is simply wrong.

    Re:

    Sony fired the first shot over mobile tech, so LG fired back over Blu-ray. Bit silly, really.
