USITC Supports HP and Memjet Request

The US Commission Investigative Staff has filed a “no opposition” response over the joint motion filed between HP and Memjet to end hostilities.

On July 7, 2016, in a confidential settlement, HP Inc. and Memjet Ltd (and its subsidiaries) filed a joint motion. Both companies stated that their settlement agreement reflects the entire and only agreement between them. They jointly claimed that the motion to terminate the investigation was in the interest of the public and administrative economy. Such settlements are favored.
