Canon Boasts Thousands of Infringing Removals from Amazon

Canon Inc. has tallied up all the listings of successful removals of allegedly infringing cartridges that were being sold online via Amazon.

In just the first half of 2020, Canon alleges it had a total of 3,092 removals from ten countries as follows:

• 79 listings from Amazon in Australia. Since September 2019, the total number of listings removed in Australia is 167. The listings offered third-party laser toner cartridges which Canon believes infringed one or more of Australian Patent Nos. 2014208277 and 2007205464.
• 2,321 listings from Amazon in Germany, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, France and Turkey. Since June 2018, the total number of listings removed is 6,408. The listings offered third-party laser toner cartridges from vendors which Canon believes infringed one or more of European Patent No. 2 087 407 and European Patent No. 1 977 289.

• 692 listings from Amazon in Canada, Mexico and the United States of America. Since June 2018, the total number of listings removed is 1,861. The listings offered third-party laser toner cartridges from vendors which Canon believes infringed one or more of U.S. Patent No. 8,280,278, U.S. Patent No. 8,630,564, U.S. Patent No. 8,682,215, U.S. Patent No. 8,688,008, U.S. Patent No. 8,676,090, U.S. Patent No. 8,588,646, U.S. Pat. No. 9,581,958, Canadian Patent No. 2,635,791, Canadian Patent No. 2,910,527, Mexican Patent No. 308881 and Mexican Patent No. 317598.

Canon has been the most diligent of printer OEMs to seek Amazon’s support to remove what it claims are products being sold online that infringe its patents. It has also been more diligent in 2020 than it was in 2018 and 2019.
