TOKYO, September 9, 2019—Canon Inc. today announced the filing of an infringement report with Amazon.ca seeking removal of Amazon.ca listings for certain toner cartridges sold by Tuobo Store.

Canon requested the removal of the corresponding listings for these products, namely, Amazon Standard Identification Number B00JAR2674.
At the time of this announcement, products sold under the above identified listings were no longer available on Amazon.ca.
