Canon Wins U.S. Trademark Infringement Lawsuit against Counterfeiters

In April 2022, Canon filed at lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against 52 sellers who sell counterfeit Canon products (camera batteries, inkjet printer printheads, etc.) on U.S. e-commerce websites, alleging infringement of Canon's trademark rights.
After the commencement of the lawsuit, about half of the defendants acknowledged the validity and enforceability of Canon's trademarks and agreed to immediately cease and desist from selling counterfeit products. The remaining defendants did not contest Canon's claims in court, and in September, 2022, the court issued a judgment ordering the defendants to cease the infringing acts, ruling in favor of Canon.
