Case in US concerning certain toner cartridges and photosensitive drum units concluded as companies agree to Consent Judgement and Permanent Injunction.
Canon announced that it has successfully resolved the patent infringement lawsuit against OnlineTechStores.com, Inc. and Online Tech Stores, LLC in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York; with the lawsuit filed by Canon in January against 18 aftermarket companies.
Canon stated that the case, which concerned “certain toner cartridges and photosensitive drum units sold for use in Canon and HP laser beam printers”, has been resolved as the defendants agreed to a Consent Judgement and Permanent Injunction from the Southern District of New York which prohibits them from “making, selling and offering for sale in the US, and from importing into the US”, the toner cartridges and photosensitive drum units accused of infringing Canon’s US patent numbers 8,135,304, 8,280,278, 8,369,744, 8,433,219, 8,437,669, 8,494,411, 8,565,640, 8,630,564, 8,676,085, 8,676,090, 8,682,215, and 8,688,008.
The Recycler reported in May that Canon had also resolved the lawsuit with Provantage LLC, which also agreed to a Consent Judgement and Permanent Injunction under the same terms.
