Konami Wins Rights to Sell Winning Eleven in France

Konami scored a significant victory last week for its Pro Evolution Soccer (known as Winning Eleven in the States and in Japan) franchise, with the Paris District Court in France ruling that the game does not infringe the trademarks of the Federation Francaise de Football. The ruling will allow the popular soccer title to be sold in France, one of the biggest gaming markets in Europe, behind UK and Germany.

The legal dance started back in 2001 when Pro Evolution Soccer hit retailers in France, with the Federation Francaise de Football asserting the Konami illegally used logos, player names and likenesses of the national team. Konami fired back, claiming that the FFF was breaking anti-monopoly laws.

The fourth installment of Pro Evolution Soccer is expected to be available at retailers in France in October.
:D

that article makes it out as if the game got banned from being sold in france like after 2001... when really its always been available. but nevermind, good news i guess but i assume most people didnt even have a clue there was any sort of legal battle going on. cause im damn sure i didnt.
