Memjet and HP Claim, Counterclaim and Respond in Court

In a suit over alleged printer infringements lodged back in October 2015, Memjet has sought to answer and deny each allegation made by Hewlett-Packard—now renamed HP Inc.—in a California District Court.

In court documents just received by RT Media, dated January 18, Kevin P.B. Johnson, attorney for Memjet Holdings Ltd, Memjet US Services, and Memjet Ltd (collectively “Memjet”), submitted clear answers to each allegation and demanded a jury trial to hear the matter along with 14 counter-claims.

Memjet states to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District Court of California that Memjet does not infringe any valid and enforceable claim of the following patents: 6,250,738; 6,322,206; 7,399,069; 7,726,786; 6,679,596; 6,789,878; 6,491,377.
They further stated that claims on the following patents are invalid: 6,250,738; 6,322,206; 7,399,069; 7,726,786; 6,679,596; 6,789,878; 6,491,377.

In response, also on January 18, attorneys for HP Inc. submitted what they believe to be “clear answers to the counterclaims filed by Memjet Technology Limited, Memjet Ltd., Memjet US Services Inc., and Memjet Holdings Ltd.” (collectively Memjet).

According to the copies sent to RT Media, HP prayed for relief from the U.S. District Court for the Southern District Court of California.

In the statement, HP denies that “Memjet is entitled to the declaratory relief set forth in Paragraph 1 of the Counterclaims because HP patents are valid and have been infringed.”

In addition, HP declared it “denies that Memjet is entitled any of the relief requested by Memjet … nor is Memjet entitled to any other relief against HP.”
