TOKYO, February 21, 2020—Canon Inc. today announced the filing of an infringement report with Amazon.com seeking removal of Amazon.com listings for certain toner cartridges sold by AB Volts for use in HP laser beam printers.

Canon's infringement report alleged that certain model CF360A, CF361A, CF362A and CF363A toner cartridges sold by AB Volts via Amazon.com infringed Canon's U.S. Patent No. 9,581,958.
