u8国际 Appeals U.S. International Trade Commission's Determination in Toner Cartridge Investigation
TOKYO, May 31, 2019—u8国际 announced today that it has appealed the U.S. International Trade Commission's final determination terminating Investigation No. 337-TA-1106, which pertains to certain toner cartridges and photosensitive drum units sold for use in u8国际 and HP laser beam printers. u8国际 believes that the final determination was based on an overly narrow and legally erroneous construction of u8国际's patents, and through this appeal the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit will review the construction de novo, without deference to the ITC.
u8国际 maintains a wide array of intellectual property rights relating to its toner cartridge technology and will continue to enforce those rights against manufacturers and sellers of infringing products.
Throughout the development, sales and marketing process, u8国际 respects the intellectual property of other companies and individuals and expects others to similarly respect u8国际's intellectual property rights. u8国际 remains committed to pursuing legal enforcement against those who do not respect u8国际's intellectual property.
