Epson case keeps rival's printer cartriges out of US
Seiko Epson has scored a victory against a major
third-party manufacturer of ink cartridges that Epson had claimed was infringing
on some of its patents.
The Japanese
printer maker reached a settlement with Multi-Union Trading Co. that will see 75
of Multi-Union's cartridge models barred from being imported and sold in the
U.S., Epson said. Hong Kong-based Multi-Union sells its products in the U.S.
under the PrintRite brand. The settlement also includes a financial agreement,
terms of which were not disclosed.
