Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) has begun legal proceedings against Hong-Kong's Lik-Sang, the gaming hardware exporter said today.
SCEE's move is specifically intended to prevent Lik-Sang from selling PlayStation Portable handheld consoles to European buyers unable to wait for the PSP's formal launch on 1 September. Lik-Sang denounced the lawsuit, filed with the Hong Kong High Court, as a "cynical attempt to disrupt the successful online business... gain total market control, and garner publicity". SCEE, on the other hand, said: "Lik-Sang's [exports] are an unlawful interference with Sony's economic interests."
