February 1, 2021
The OEM requested the removal of toner cartridges offered by MSQUS from Amazon Canada and by heshuixian jinsibocaoliangshangmaohang via Amazon Italy and UK.
Canon Inc. announced the filing of an infringement report with Amazon.ca seeking removal of an Amazon.ca listing for certain toner cartridges sold by MSQUS.
Canon’s infringement report alleged that certain model CF380A, CF381A, CF382A and CF383A toner cartridges sold by MSQUS 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 B081BGTKGB.
At the time of this announcement, the above identified listings were no longer available on Amazon.ca.
Canon also announced that it filed Report Infringement Forms with Amazon.co.uk and Amazon.it based on the alleged use of claims 1 and 2 of the UK and Italian portion of Canon’s European Patent EP 1 977 289 (“EP ‘289”) regarding certain models of toner cartridges offered by heshuixian jinsibocaoliangshangmaohang under the following ASINs (Amazon Standard Identification Numbers).
