Another Day with More Canon Takedowns on Amazon

Another Day with More Canon Takedowns on Amazon

In three separate filings with Amazon on the same day (April 22, 2021), Canon has requested the removal of what it clearly sees are infringing printer cartridges in Australia, America, Germany, the UK, Italy and Spain.

According to Canon in each case, Amazon took down the respective products. At the same time, Canon publishes a disclaimer on its website, in each case that the filing of infringement reports with Amazon “does not comprise any official finding of validity or infringement of a patent. The decision to take down a product is at the discretion of Amazon and is based on information provided by Canon.”

Vendors have every right to object to the takedown in each case.
