Page "Lik Sang" Paragraph 6

On October 18, 2006, the High Court in London ( Patents Court ) ruled the shipments were indeed in breach of Sony's rights.

The following day, Lik-Sang posted a message on their website claiming they had been forced out of business due to Sony's legal action.

Sony responded in a statement saying that Lik-Sang had not contested the case, thus incurring no legal fees, and had not paid any damages or costs to Sony.

However, Lik-Sang replied once more that their legal representatives spent over a year to contest the UK's court jurisdiction and tried to defend against Sony's allegations of parallel importation and copyright infringement, and that Sony launched duplicate actions in different countries.

According to Lik-Sang's final statements, two different judges expressed their surprise about the high legal expenses claimed by Sony.
