Memjet Technology Ltd. v. HP. On August 11, 2015, Memjet Technology Ltd.
(“Memjet”) filed a lawsuit against HP in U.S. District Court in the
Southern District of California. The complaint alleges that HP infringes eight
Memjet patents. The products accused of infringement are those that use the HP
PageWide Technology, including the OfficeJet Pro X series, OfficeJet Enterprise
X series, HP PageWide XL, wide scan printers, and printers using 4.25-inch
thermal inkjet printheads, such as HP Web Presses and Photo Kiosks. On October
2, 2015, HP answered Memjet’s complaint and asserted a counter-claim against
Memjet for infringement of four HP patents. The products accused of
infringement include various Memjet OEM printers that incorporate Memjet’s
printheads and print engines. On November 20, 2015, HP asserted three
additional patents against Memjet. The patents asserted by both parties
generally relate to inkjet printhead and print system technology. Both Memjet’s
and HP’s respective complaints seek injunctive relief and monetary damages from
the other party for alleged patent infringement. On November 16, 2015, Memjet
was granted an ex parte preliminary injunction in Germany (State Court
Munich), against HP Deutschland GmbH’s sale and offers for sale of HP PageWide
XL printers. Memjet’s injunction request alleges that HP infringes a Memjet
European patent. On December 4, 2015, HP
filed an opposition and an application to suspend enforcement of the
preliminary injunction pending a court hearing and decision. On December 9,
2015, the court denied HP’s application to suspend enforcement prior to a
hearing. A hearing is scheduled for January 7, 2016.
