Lexmark Seeks Contempt Order in Patent Infringement Suit
lexmark Now Attacking Ink Technologies Printer Supplies LLC Of Dayton Ohio
Lexmark International Inc, the maker of laser and inkjet printers, asked a federal court in Ohio to declare that a seller of ink for computers is in contempt of court.In a June 28 filing, Lexmark claimed that Ink Technologies Printer Supplies LLC of Dayton, Ohio, was violating a court order handed down in April 2011 barring the importation of toner cartridges that infringe Lexmark’s patents.
That order came in a patent-infringement case Lexmark filed in August 2010 against more than 20 defendants. Lexington, Kentucky-based Lexmark also filed a complaint with the U.S. International Trade Commission at that time, seeking an order barring the import of infringing cartridges.
In its request for a contempt order, Lexmark said that Ink Technologies is still selling infringing products, some of which are Lexmark’s own cartridges that were refilled without authorization.
Ink Technologies, which does business as Ink Jet Superstore, didn’t respond immediately to an e-mailed request for comment.The case is Lexmark International Inc. v. Ink Technologies Printer Supplies LLC, 10-cv-00564, U.S. District Court, Southern District of Ohio (Cincinnati).
