Anyone know anymore about this? LG must think they have a strong case. And it seem strange to cease the devices not just sue for a % of the sales.

Long story short .... Sony sues LG over Phone tech, LG counter sues on basis of BlueRay tech to "encourage" Sony to back off. LG has a better case than they though and manage to produce this "stop" while investigations are ongoing.
