TOKYO, March 12, 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 TG Imaging for use in HP laser beam printers.

Canon's infringement report alleged that certain model CF350A, CF351A, CF352A and CF353A toner cartridges sold by TG Imaging via Amazon.com infringed Canon's U.S. Patent No. 8,688,008.
