TOKYO, April 8, 2021—Canon Inc. today announced the filing of an infringement report with Amazon.com seeking the removal of Amazon.com listings for certain toner cartridges sold by GRDP for use in HP laser beam printers.
Canon's infringement report alleged that certain model CF218A toner cartridges sold by GRDP via Amazon.com infringed Canon's U.S. Patent No. 8,688,008. Canon requested that Amazon remove GRDP's listings for those products, namely, GRDP's listings with Amazon Standard Identification Numbers ("ASINs") B089R82JY8, B089R6Y7HS, B089R8Q9P7, B089GHQFDP, B089GCYYPT and B089GCQLLK.

Canon remains committed to pursuing legal enforcement against those who do not respect Canon's intellectual property.
