Canon
Announces Resolution Of Patent Infringement Suit
LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., Canon today announced the resolution of a
patent infringement lawsuit against Canada-based Densigraphix,
concerning certain Densigraphix toner bottle products sold for use in
Canon copier and multifunction products (MFP).

As a result of the
lawsuit, Densigraphix has discontinued U.S. sales and manufacturing of
its SKU #s CAGT657-U, CAGT658-U, CAGT672, CAGT674 and CAGT676 toner
bottle products, which it previously marketed for use in certain Canon
imageRUNNER copiers and MFP’s (including 2230; 2270; 2830; 2870; 3025;
3030; 3225; 3230; 3035; 3045; 3235; 3245; 3530; 3570; 4570; 5070; 5570;
6570; 7086; 7095; 7105; 5050; 5055; 5065; and 5075) pursuant to a
permanent injunction issued by the U.S. District Court for the Eastern
District of Virginia prohibiting Densigraphix, during the life of
Canon’s U.S. Patent No. 7,647,012, from selling such products.

Canon
Inc. had filed suit against Densigraphix Kopi Inc. and Densigraphix
Inc. on January 12, 2010 in the United States District Court for the
Eastern District of Virginia, for infringement of Canon’s U.S. Patent
No. 7,647,012. On March 9, 2010, the Court issued the injunction by
consent of the parties, permanently enjoining Densigraphix’s sale of the
above products.

Throughout the development, sales and marketing
process, Canon respects the intellectual property of other companies and
individuals and expects these entities to similarly respect Canon’s
intellectual property rights. Canon remains committed to pursuing legal
enforcement against those who do not respect Canon’s intellectual
property.
