Los Angeles, California — Jonathan Brightman has filed a federal antitrust lawsuit against Toshiba America Business Solutions Inc. (TABS), a division of Toshiba Corp., in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. The case, docketed as 2:25-cv-07877, accuses Toshiba of monopolistic practices in the toner supply market.
Allegations at a Glance
Brightman claims Toshiba engaged in exclusionary tactics that effectively blocked independent resellers from distributing its branded printer toner. He alleges these anti-competitive strategies destroyed his business and played a direct role in a criminal case that led to his now-overturned conviction.What Brightman Seeks
In his antitrust complaint, Brightman seeks damages and injunctive relief, arguing that Toshiba violated federal antitrust laws by unlawfully maintaining a monopoly and stifling competition. As of now, Toshiba has not issued a public response.Implications for the Toshiba Lawsuit
The appellate court’s decision plays a central role in Brightman’s antitrust suit. He argues that Toshiba’s alleged monopoly not only harmed fair market competition. In his view, he’s not just a business owner shut out of the market—he’s an individual seeking justice for commercial harm.
