Hola, leyendo en otro foro, me he encontrado esta noticia, ke copy & paste:
Sony’s troubles in bringing the PSP to the European market have been well documented over the past six months, with the territory finally set to receive the handheld some nine months after Japan and six months after the North American roll-out. Recognising the demand, the simmering Grey Market scene has boiled over in recent months as retailers identify the requests of gamers, however it seems Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) doesn’t necessarily see it that way, putting pressure on online merchants to cease selling the unit.
TVG today learnt of one retailer’s attempt to combat SCEE’s ardent strategy, as ElectricBirdLand Limited hit back at warnings over legal action regarding the sale of PSP imports. It appears that all Internet-based retailers selling the unit have received Cease and Desist orders from solicitors representing SCEE, claiming Trademark infringement despite the fact it has currently failed so far to secure certain vital trademarks across Europe.
Todo esto lo he sakado de el foro de vandal.
Resumiendo, ke sony podria tener problemas con algunas de sus marcas en europa, y podria ocasionar un nuevo retraso.
Esperemos ke no sea así, pero weno, habrá ke seguir jugando con la importada
The Cease and Desist Orders allegedly refer only to the “Playstation” trademark, hiding the fact that key technologies, trademarks, and software used in the PSP have yet to be secured by Sony. The situation looks to be increasingly bleak for SCEE however, as ElectricBirdLand suggests that these trademark and technologies are owned or being contested. These include trademarks for the name PSP (a trademark currently registered by Owtanet Limited in 2000), UMD (a trademark owned by Olympus Corporation and being opposed by AMD), however the PSP’s operating system, XMB, is currently free although has yet to be registered.
A spokesperson for ElectricBirdLand indicates that the failure to secure these trademarks could potentially lead to further delays for the PSP European launch, while the worst-case scenario could see a disastrous total re-brand of the format that has already launched across North America and Japan.

Y en otra web, esta vez en frances:
Les réservations ont commencé hier mais Sony devra surmonter un problème de taille avant la sortie de sa PSP. En effet, il semblerait que le nom "PSP" appartienne déjà en Europe à l'entreprise anglaise Owtanet Ltd. et à sa marque Owtanet PSP Software. Le PSP de Owtanet est, en fait, l'abréviation de "Publishing, Shopping and Profiles" et il s'agit d'un logiciel de management. Cette marque a été déposée en 2000.
SCEE a confirmé la sortie de la console portable pour septembre. Pourtant ce contre-temps juridique pourrait retarder la sortie européenne de la Playstation Portable, le temps que l'armée d'avocats de Sony arrange l'affaire.
