Canon Requests More Products DelistedCanon announced that it filed Report Infringement Forms with Amazon.de, Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.it and Amazon.es based on the alleged use of claims 1 and 2 of the German, UK, Italian and Spanish portion of Canon’s European Patent EP 1 977 289 (“EP ‘289”) regarding certain models of toner cartridges offered by shenmushiyishidexiaojiadiandian under the following ASINs (Amazon Standard Identification Numbers).

Afterwards, Amazon took down the respective products. These products are compatible with the OEM HP cartridge models and provide inter alia a non-OEM housing and a non-OEM force receiving device according to claim 1 of EP ‘289. Furthermore, they comprise an elastic portion according to claim 2 of EP ‘289.

On the same day, Canon also alleged that:

  • certain model CE320A, CE321A, CE322A and CE323A toner cartridges sold by JC TONER via Amazon.com infringed Canon’s U.S. Patent No. 8,588,646. Canon requested that Amazon remove JC TONER’s listings for those products, namely, JC TONER’s listings with Amazon Standard Identification Numbers (“ASINs”) B074P2VYLT, B074P6GKL5 and B074PNCH48.
  • certain model CF210X, CF211A, CF212A and CF213A toner cartridges sold by BEST SUPPLY via Amazon.ca infringed Canon’s Canadian Patent no. 2,635,791. Canon requested the removal of the corresponding listings for these products, having Amazon Standard Identification Number B07BJZNKKL.

At the time of this announcement, the above-identified listings were no longer available on Amazon.com & Amazon.ca.

Canon is the most diligent of printer OEMs to scrutinize the online listings of aftermarket printer cartridges, particularly on Amazon.

The iconic imaging leader has yet again, used the infringement reporting service offered by Amazon to see thousands of listings removed in Australia, USA, Canada, Germany, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom and France.

The “Amazon Reporting Tool” is a service offered by Amazon and does not encompass any official finding of validity or infringement of a patent. Canon says it appreciates the support of Amazon in protecting its intellectual property.
