Epson agrees settlement with DCI

A dispute between Seiko Epson Corporation (SEC) and Dynamic Cassette International Limited (DCI), in which SEC had alleged that DCI had infringed certain patents of SEC, has been resolved to the satisfaction of both parties prior to a  trial scheduled to begin in the High Court, London.

As part of the settlement DCI has ceased to manufacture new cartridges which are compatible with Epson printers. All other terms of the settlement are confidential as between the parties.

Epson takes a proactive stance in order to protect its brand and technologies and to support its channel partners and customers.

Robert Clark, Vice President 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. As a business we are committed to protecting our investments, assets and our resulting products and technologies, the world over.”
