    Canon Inc Goes Down,  Ninestar & Seine Image International Vindicated
    Chinese Remanufacturers Vindicated
    Canon has withdrawn its complaint against Chinese companies Ninestar and Seine Image International.

    Back on May 8, Canon lodged its complaint against many remanufacturers and distributors with the US International Trade Commission, also called the ITC.

    Canon claimed certain printer cartridges made and sold by the aftermarket infringed their patents.

    However, according to the ITC 337 Law Blog Administrative law judge David Shaw has now issued an order, granting a motion filed by Canon, to terminate the investigation against Ninestar Image Tech and Seine Image International.

    To date, 43 companies had been named by Canon in the complaint. Four companies: Provantage, Printronic, Online Tech Stores and Nectron International have conceded and are settling with Canon.

    Ninestar and Seine have now been vindicated and have not infringed Canon’s dongle gear patents.
