Epson Commences Court Proceedings against DCI

Thursday 14. April 2011 - Seiko Epson Corporation ("Epson," TSE: 6724) has today commenced High Court proceedings against Dynamic Cassette International Limited ("DCI") for infringement of several of its patents related to printer ink cartridge technology.

DCI manufactures “own-brand” ink cartridges in the UK for a wide range of high street retailers and also sells under its own “Jet Tec” brand. Its infringing cartridges are sold in the UK and in many other countries.
Epson takes a proactive stance against infringements of this nature in order to protect its brand and technologies, and to support its channel partners and customers.
Robert Clark, Executive Director of Epson Europe, said: “We invest heavily in research and development to ensure that our customers receive the best possible imaging results from our products. Attempts to copy our technologies impact both on us as a brand and on our customers’ experiences. As a business we are committed to protecting our investments, and our resulting products and technologies, the world over.”
