    In a controversial legal clash, Canon is suing Katun over alleged patent infringement regarding toner bottle designs, with the case now heading to the Unified Patent Court in Düsseldorf. The battle goes beyond design patents—it symbolizes a deeper struggle between traditional OEMs like Canon and remanufacturers offering cheaper, eco-friendly alternatives.

    Canon claims Katun has copied its designs, while Katun defends its right to reverse-engineer and produce affordable products. For consumers, Katun’s remanufactured toner bottles provide cost-effective, sustainable options. However, Canon and other OEMs argue that patents should be enforced to protect innovation and market control.

    The outcome could set a major precedent for the industry. A win for Katun would allow more competition in the market, while a victory for Canon would strengthen OEMs’ ability to monopolize designs. This case highlights the tension between intellectual property rights and the growing demand for affordable, sustainable alternatives in a changing market.
