LG Wants PlayStation 3 Banned From US Market 165
FlorianMueller writes "On Friday LG filed a complaint against Sony with the US International Trade Commission, claiming the PlayStation 3 infringes four Blu-ray Disc patents and demanding a permanent ban of the PS3 (and possibly other products) from the US market. LG, which boasts that it owns 90,000 patents worldwide, appears to take this step in retaliation for a previous Sony complaint about various LG smartphones, which the ITC is already investigating. This is reminiscent of Motorola's infringement action against the Xbox 360 that is part of its wider dispute with Microsoft. In other words, you touch my smartphones and I bomb your game consoles."

Sony, you know that sharp pain in your rear right now?
That is what us commoners call karma, and it is currently biting you in the ass.

This is already a retaliatory action. Even the summary mentions this.
Han Sony shot first.
