Canon expects the industry to respect the GEO, and expects everyone to cease any importations of infringing products.”

Canon said it respects the intellectual property of other companies and individuals, and expects others to respect Canon’s intellectual property rights. Further, the company said that it will remain committed to pursuing legal enforcement against patent infringement.
