HP & InkCycle resolved patent infringement lawsuit
HP and InkCycle today announced that they have
resolved their patent infringement lawsuit regarding the inks used in the
refilling of certain HP inkjet cartridges. Under the terms of the confidential
agreement, InkCycle has agreed to acquire re-formulated, non-infringing ink sets
for three InkCycle products and has agreed to pay HP an undisclosed sum. The
lawsuit was initially filed in March 2005 after HP discovered that refilled
inkjet cartridges sold under the Staples brand contained patent-infringing ink.
"HP will continue to invest in technology that benefits consumers and to
aggressively protect this investment," said Pradeep Jotwani.
