Canon requests removal of toner cartridge offered by Litpol Ltd. from Amazon.co.uk

Canon Inc. has announced the filing of a Report Infringement Form with Amazon UK based on the alleged use of claim 1 and 25 of the UK portion of Canon’s European Patent EP 2 087 407 regarding the cartridge model “CF280A” offered by Litpol Ltd. under the ASINs (Amazon Standard Identification Number) B0793RCR24, B0793P6DH8, B0793PQGYQ, B079346BC1, and B0793Q3MN9. Afterwards, Amazon took down the respective products. These products are compatible with the OEM HP cartridge model CF280A and provide inter alia a non-OEM coupling member, a non-OEM drum as well as a non-OEM housing.

Filing a Report Infringement Form with Amazon is a service offered by Amazon and does not comprise any official finding of validity or infringement of a patent. The decision to take down a product is in the discretion of Amazon and is based on information provided by Canon.

Amazon may inform the vendor about the takedown request and the vendor may object to it.

Previously, Canon also filed two infringing reports with Amazon, seeking to remove certain listings for certain toner cartridges sold by INKMATE and Etechwork.
