In Canada, Canon filed an infringement report with Amazon.ca seeking the removal of an Amazon.ca listing for certain toner cartridges sold by GUOCHUNHONG.
Canon’s infringement report alleged that certain model CF210A, CF211A, CF212A and CF213A toner cartridges sold by GUOCHUNHONG via Amazon.ca infringed Canon’s Canadian Patent no. 2,635,791. Canon requested the removal of the corresponding listings for these products, having Amazon Standard Identification Number B07PRBH2D5.
At the time of this announcement, the above-identified listings were no longer available on Amazon.ca.
Filing an infringement report with Amazon.ca is a service offered by Amazon and does not constitute an official finding of infringement. The decision to take down a product is in the discretion of Amazon and is based on information provided by Canon.
