Ink Spilled
Printer
makers follow the razor blade business model: the razor is a loss leader to the
highly profitable blades. So, with inkjet printers, the lucre accrues from
selling the ink. To wit, Seiko Epson has just sued six inking infringers over
its ink cartridge patents. Epson recently won a tentative ruling at the ITC over
a few parties in its suite attack against two dozen companies from China,
Germany, Hong Kong, Korea and the U.S. Epson has filed five suits in the recent
past, four in the District of Oregon, a somewhat sleepy but quite competent
district for patent adjudication.
