A court order, banning Sony from importing
PlayStation 3's into the Netherlands has been lifted.

The embargo was put in place in late February
after the Korean electronics firm LG challenged
Sony over alleged patent infringements.

The believed reason why this has happened is
due to the attempt Sony did to stop imports on
LG phones for patent reasons too.

It is believed that around 300,000 PS3s were
impounded as a result.

Sony confirmed to BBC News that the ban had
been lifted on Thursday afternoon.

LG is now facing a hefty fine for damages.
