Irvine, CA, December 2, 2015<\/em> \u2014\u00a0Toshiba America Business Solutions<\/a>\u00a0(TABS), together with co-plaintiff Toshiba TEC Corporation<\/a>\u00a0(TTEC), has filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Katun Corporation (Katun) in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. \u00a0The lawsuit, filed on Nov. 25, alleges Katun\u2019s infringement of nine United States patents co-owned by TABS and TTEC related to toner cartridges used in Toshiba-branded multifunction products.<\/p>\n

Toshiba is filing a patent infringement lawsuit against Katun to defend its valuable intellectual property rights while protecting its customers from infringing products claiming to be an alternative to Toshiba\u2019s own high-quality products.<\/p>\n

\u201cTABS and TTEC have made substantial investments in their innovative and patented technology, which drives the reputation of Toshiba-branded products in the market as a go-to provider of reliable and trusted printing solutions,\u201d said Tom Walter, TABS vice president of distribution and aftermarket sales at Toshiba America Business Solutions. \u00a0\u201cDespite numerous warnings from TABS and TTEC over the span of several years, Katun has continued to manufacture and sell products that infringe our patents. \u00a0This lawsuit was a necessary response to Katun\u2019s actions in the marketplace.\u201d<\/p>\n
