Thurgood Marshall US Courthouse in New York City, where the case is taking place.
The remanufacturer and the OEM have concluded their case in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York.
The announcement from Canon pertains to the original case begun in January, which later span off into a USITC case as well, and ACM Technologies has stipulated to a Consent Judgement and Permanent Injunction from the court to conclude the case.
The judgement and injunction prohibit ACM Technologies from “making, using, selling and offering for sale in the US, and from importing into the US, the toner cartridges and photosensitive drum units that Canon accused of infringing” its patents, including 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
Canon stated: “Throughout the development, sales and marketing process, Canon respects the intellectual property of other companies and individuals and expects others to similarly respect Canon’s intellectual property rights. Canon remains committed to pursuing legal enforcement against those who do not respect Canon’s intellectual property.”
The USITC announced in early September that eight more companies had been found in default: however, other defendants in the USITC arm of the case responded by asking for an order to be given to “show cause why certain respondents should not be found in default” – as five of the eight companies named by Canon had already settled with the OEM in the District Court case, including Acecom, Inc, Do It Wiser LLC and Green Project, Inc., and Online Tech Stores, LLC and Printronic Corporation.
