inkjet cartridges

09/05/2008 by admin.

Many consumers opt to have their inkjet cartridges refilled or purchased remanufactured cartridges from third parties to save money over buying new inkjet cartridges. This is much cheaper (as you need only buy the ink and some other small raw materials), and a whole industry has grown up around this idea. The legality of this industry was brought to the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit in the case of Lexmark Int’l v. Static Control Components. The Court ruled that reverse-engineering the handshaking procedure to enable compatibility did not violate the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
