Breaking news, du nouveau dans l'affaire qui oppose #Sony (#PlayStation) a #Tencent #Sony vs #Tencent résumé de l'affaire ⚖️ Sony (#PlayStation) attaque #Tencent aux USA au sujet de #LightOfMotiram, qu’il juge trop proche d’Horizon (droits d’auteur + marques). Sony demande aussi une injonction préliminaire (PI) : une mesure d’urgence pour geler provisoirement la sortie, la promo et l’usage des éléments contestés, le temps que le procès avance. Nouveau rebondissement : le dossier vient d’être réaffecté à la juge Jacqueline Scott Corley la même qui, en 2023, avait refusé la PI de la #FTC pour bloquer le rachat de #Activision par #Microsoft. Ça ne veut pas dire que Sony perdra : ça signifie surtout que la juge connaît très bien les PI et les dossiers jeux vidéo/tech. Ce que la juge va regarder pour la PI : Les chances de succès de Sony sur le fond (copyright / marques) ; Le préjudice irréparable sans PI ; La balance des intérêts (qui souffre le plus, et comment) ; L’intérêt public. 📍 #Sony : “Le jeu reprend l’ADN du jeu #HorizonZeroDawn (univers, DA, éléments clés) ➡️ on stoppe tout de suite pour éviter un préjudice irréversible.” 📍 Tencent : “Ce sont des idées de genre et des tropes non protégeables ; les joueurs font la différence ; pas de quoi geler un projet entier.” Les scénarios possibles à court terme : 📍PI accordée ➡️ gel provisoire (lancement/marketing/assets) pendant la procédure. 📍PI refusée ➡️ le jeu peut avancer pendant que l’affaire continue, Sony devra gagner au fond pour obtenir des remèdes plus tard. 📍 Accord toujours possible (retouches d’assets, calendrier, licence, $). Merci @Florian4Gamers pour m'avoir envoyé l'info .

The great Judge Corley has the next preliminary injunction request against a major games company in her docket. And this time around Sony is seeking the PI officially and directly, not by co-opting regulators for that purpose.
