Epson hits Taiwanese ink system maker
A
Taiwan court has barred a local manufacturer of continuous ink supply
systems from producing models for Seiko Epson printers after receiving
a petition from the Japanese company.Seiko Epson lodged a complaint
with the district court in Taichung, central Taiwan, in April, alleging
the systems infringe upon its Taiwanese patents. Earlier this month the
court issued a preliminary injunction that prohibits U-Bar
International from directly or indirectly manufacturing, importing or
selling the continuous ink supply system for Epson printers.Seiko Epson
plans to monitor if U-Bar complies with the injunction and will push
the case forward if the Taiwanese company is found to be ignoring the
court’s instructions, said Kenkichi Shibata, a spokesman for Seiko
Epson.The injunction is the latest of several favourable outcomes for
Seiko Epson from courts around the world.Most recently, four German
online retailers agreed in out-of-court settlements to stop selling
third-party ink cartridges for Epson printers. Last year similar
out-of-court settlements were reached with companies in the UK and Hong
Kong.
