On February 8, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed the U.S. International Trade Commission’s (ITC’s) decision to fine Ninestar Technology $11.1 million for violating the commission’s orders barring the importation of certain third-party Epson-compatible cartridges into the United States. The ITC meted out the fine, one of the largest ever levied by the commission, after it determined that Ninestar and its U.S. distributor Town Sky continued to import, market, and sell infringing Epson compatibles despite having been ordered by the ITC to cease and desist from such activity.
