Lik-sang’s response to Sony lawsuits

Lik-Sang logoOkay, remember Lik-Sang? The guys who let you pre-order PS3Â’s for no downpayment? Well, Judge Michael Fysh has recently ruled against Hong Kong-based Lik-Sang in a case brought by Sony to the High Court. In his ruling Judge Fysh said, “The acts of which the complaint is made have, in my view, been perpetrated not in Hong Kong but here in the EEA, and without Sony’s consent.”

Lik-sang objects to this in an official statement saying that “Hong Kong’s laws are clear when it comes to parallel trade, and the company has no ties whatsoever with the UK.” The statement also says that Sony intends to obtain a UK injunction against Lik-Sang to prevent the company selling products to consumers in the EEA, and that the platform holder has “threatened to initiate yet another lawsuit to prevent the sales of PlayStation 3 consoles to Europe“.

do not mess with the law... or judges will go get youLik-Sang Marketing manager Pascal Clarysse says that having to fight multiple lawsuits in multiple countries at the same time and having to pay high premiums for lawyers is a very daunting situation for a small company like Lik-Sang. He adds that the act of having multiple court actions with separate claims and different judges is something that is a bit redundant.

Basically, Clarysse says that SonyÂ’s actions are “unnecessary, except for the fact that it helps reaching one single target: outspend Lik-Sang to death.” The Marketing manager goes on to say that he believes that the sale of import PSPs is something that is not causing Sony to suffer losses and damages.

Lik-Sang is currently exploring its legal options.
