Lexmark’s Andrew Gardner to Speak at Static Control’s Kick-Off Seminar in Poland  

Supreme Court's Decision Favors Static Control

A latest ruling from the United States Supreme Court holds that Static Control Components has the right to sue Lexmark on grounds of false advertising arising out of Lexmark’s Prebate program.

The decision was approved by all 9 justices in the Supreme Court. According to Justice Antonin Scalia, “…Static Control adequately alleged proximate causation by alleging that it designed, manufactured, and sold microchips that both (1) were necessary for, and (2) had no other use than, refurbishing Lexmark toner cartridges. It follows from that allegation that any false advertising that reduced the remanufacturers business necessarily injured Static Control as well.”

Lexmark first sued Static Control in 2002. It was initially successful in having the trial court throw out Static Control’s counterclaims against Lexmark. The case went to trial in 2007 with a jury verdict in Static Control’s favor. After trial, Static Control successfully convinced the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals to reinstate Static Control’s claims for Unfair and Deceptive Trade Practices and false advertising. Lexmark petitioned the Supreme Court to reconsider. The Supreme Court rejected Lexmark’s request.

Static Control’s claims against Lexmark are based, in part, on Lexmark falsely telling remanufacturers that remanufacturing “Prebate” cartridges was illegal. The Lanham Act, a federal statute, prohibits false advertising. The trial court initially rejected Static Control’s Lanham Act claim, but the Sixth Circuit reinstated it. Lexmark asked the Supreme Court to overrule the Sixth Circuit. 

 “We are extremely pleased the Supreme Court agrees Lexmark should be held accountable for its actions,” said President Bill Swartz. “I only wish Ed, our founder, my father, were here to enjoy this victory with us.” 

William London, Static Control’s General Counsel, added, “The Supreme Court’s unanimous decision should send a strong message to Lexmark. We plan to move forward with our false advertising suit against Lexmark and prove we were damaged by Lexmark’s false advertising.”

Static Control Optimistic Over False Advertising Lawsuit Against Lexmark

The U.S. Supreme Court has heard oral arguments regarding the case between Lexmark and Static Control Components. The court has yet to rule who can sue for violations of the federal false advertising statute.

Static Control said, “A decision will not be made for months, but the leaning of the court strongly favored another win for Static Control.” The company’s claims against Lexmark are based, in part, on Lexmark falsely telling remanufacturers that remanufacturing “Prebate” cartridges was illegal. The Lanham Act, a federal statute, prohibits false advertising. The trial ourt initially rejected Static Control’s Lanham Act claim, but the Sixth Circuit reinstated it. Lexmark asked the Supreme Court to overrule the Sixth Circuit. 

Early on in the argument, things favored Static Control. Justice Sotomayor interrupted Lexmark’s lawyer stating: “You’re disparaging the goods of a person. You’re saying that it’s illegal to use that person’s products. It seems to me that’s the essence of the Lanham Act as it’s now written.”

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg also seemed to favor a ruling for Static Control, commenting: “Here is an entrepreneur that says, ‘We make a product and Lexmark is disparaging our product. It is essentially trying to get us out of this line of business. Certainly if you just read the words of the Lanham Act, this is allegedly false advertising.”

“We are extremely pleased with how things went today,” said Static Control’s President Bill Swartz. “We look forward to the court’s decision in June.”

SANFORD, N.C. – With the recent release of a replacement doctor blade and developer roller, Static Control now offers a complete system offering for remanufactured Samsung MLT-D101 cartridges. This system offers remanufacturers everything they need to provide OEM-like consistency and page yield to end users. These popular cartridges are used in a wide range of printers available from Samsung, including the ML-2160/2165/2168, the SCX-3400/3405 MFPs and the SF-760SP MFP.

The complete system includes replacement toner, chips, drum, developer roller, doctor blade and wiper blade. Static Control’s system offering uses 22 percent less toner than other aftermarket suppliers, while delivering OEM-stated page yields and OEM-like image density.

Replacement of the doctor blade and developer roller for each remanufacturing cycle is vital for optimal performance. These delicate components can easily be damaged during cleaning, leading to print defects. Static Control’s doctor blade and developer roller deliver OEM quality and performance throughout the life of the cartridge when used with the entire system offering.

Included in the full system is Static Control’s replacement chip, engineered and manufactured in-house to deliver OEM functionality with no end user intervention. This highly encrypted chip works with all known firmware. Also, the chip does not prevent the use of an OEM cartridge, a serious problem seen in some aftermarket offerings.

Also included in the complete system offering is a shipping protector, key for protecting the exposed OPC drum in these cartridges during shipping and handling, and a universal cartridge box, airbag and customizable cartridge label.

Following a hearing on Feb. 7 and several weeks of deliberations by the judge, Lexmark was awarded a preliminary injunction in the lawsuit it filed against Static Control Components on Dec. 30, 2002.

The decision, released Feb. 27, was made by Judge Karl Forester of the Lexington, Ky., District Court. This means that Static Control will not be allowed to sell the T520/620 chips in question until the lawsuit is concluded. The lawsuit is expected to last several years. During the injunction hearing two weeks ago, Bill Swartz of Static Control testified that the company projected losses of millions of dollars over the next two years if the chips could not be sold.

"We are disappointed in his order, and believe that after he or a jury has heard a full exposition of the facts that we will prevail," Charles Taylor of Static Control Components said in a statement. "Judge Forester has signed a 53-page order in this matter, and naturally we are still studying that order. Nevertheless, we think that the judge has given us guidance in this matter so that we will be able to offer a replacement Lexmark 520/620 chip that fully complies with his order. This should take place in a very few weeks."

For more information on the Lexmark case, see "Chips to Stay off the Shelves Through Feb. 28 Decision" or "Static Control Sued by Lexmark over T520/620 Chips".

SANFORD, N.C. – The Supreme Court agreed to hear Lexmark International Inc.’s appeal of Lexmark International, Inc. v. Static Control Components, Inc., the August 29, 2012 decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit that reinstated three of Static Control’s unfair competition counterclaims against Lexmark.

Although the legal disputes between Lexmark and Static Control have centered primarily on allegations by Lexmark of patent infringement, copyright infringement, and violations of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, none of those issues is involved in the case before the Supreme Court.  All of the jury verdicts in favor of Static Control and against Lexmark on those claims remain final. The Court’s action also does not affect the district court’s determination that Lexmark’s “Prebate” program is not enforceable as a patent license under patent law, a decision that the Sixth Circuit let stand.

 The question that will be heard by the Supreme Court is limited to the legal issue of when a company has the legal right, known as “standing,” to assert a claim for false advertising under the federal law known as the Lanham Act.  Different courts of appeals historically have applied different tests.  Several courts (the Seventh, Ninth, and Tenth Circuits) apply a “categorical” test giving standing only to competitors.  Three other courts (the Third, Fifth, and Eleventh Circuits) apply by analogy the same test courts use to evaluate antitrust claims.  The Sixth Circuit and the Second Circuit look to whether the plaintiff can demonstrate a “reasonable interest” that is protected under the Lanham Act. 

William London, Static Control’s general counsel, reacted to the Court’s decision today: “Static Control’s counterclaims allege that Lexmark targeted Static Control’s products with false advertising statements, and as a result Static Control incurred harm to its business and goodwill. This is precisely the type of conduct that is prohibited by the Lanham Act, and past case law affirms Congress’s intention in such circumstances to protect companies like Static Control. While Static Control regrets that the Court chose this case as the vehicle to clarify the differences among the tests applied by the different courts of appeal, we are confident that at the end of the day Static Control will continue to have standing to pursue its claims and obtain redress for the harms caused by Lexmark’s unfair competition and anticompetitive practices.”

The Sixth Circuit’s August 29, 2012 opinion also found that Static Control was entitled to pursue its counterclaims against Lexmark for antitrust violations and false advertising under North Carolina state law.  Those claims are not affected by the grant of certiorari by the Supreme Court.  The Sixth Circuit case is Static Control Components, Inc. v. Lexmark International, Inc., 697 F.3d 387 (6^th Cir. 2012).

Reading, UK –Static Control is proud to announce its support of the Italian association Produttori Associati Cartucce Toner (PACTO). The association comprises members from Sapi, Microlaser Italia, Tecnolaser Europa and Eco-Recuperi.

Established in 2009, PACTO aims to promote any initiative that helps to support the development and progress of the Italian remanufacturing industry. PACTO states that genuine remanufacturers currently hold a 10% share of the 8-9 million-unit cartridge market in Italyand that crucially, the government accounts for approximately 3 million of the total market sales.  

PACTO associates met at Static Control’s headquarters in Sanford, North Carolina, USA in March and discussed their goals, one of which is to target government bodies and raise their awareness of the industry’s fight against new build/clone manufacturers. They are also working with the Ministry of the Environment to promote the industry’s contribution to the green economy, and ultimately promote awareness to the general public of the positive and green contributions the remanufacturing industry makes.

PACTO is the most recent in a line of cartridge associations stepping up their efforts to differentiate themselves from new build/clone manufacturers.

“We are delighted to support PACTO and look forward to working with them in the same way we have ETIRA, the I-ITC, UCKRA in the UK, ABRECI in Brazil and CAMOCA in Argentina,” said Ken Lalley, Static Control’s European Vice President of Sales. “The emerging clone issue is a very real threat to our industry but by working together, we can strengthen our position and safeguard our future. Static Control will continue to support any association prepared to join the genuine remanufacturers around the world in our joint fight against the clones.”

Static Control will ONLY sell to genuine cartridge remanufacturers. They will not sell to manufacturers of new build/clone ink and laser cartridges.

SANFORD, N.C.– On June 28, 2013, the United States International Trade Commission issued a General Exclusion Order (GEO) prohibiting the importation of products that infringe two U.S.patents belonging to Canon, numbers ‘803 and ‘454, which cover the design of the gears used on the OPC drums in hundreds of Canon and HP cartridge SKUs. The GEO concludes various legal actions which began in January 2012 against more than 30 manufacturers, importers and distributors of toner cartridges and OPC drums and ushers in a new phase of enforcement.

Static Control recognized the potential threat of patent infringement and successfully developed a unique, fully functional gear designed to eliminate any risk of infringing Canon’s gear patents. We filed for patents in 2007 and two U.S. patents for non-twisted gears were issued to Static Control in October 2010 and December 2011. Our ZeroTwist Gears were the first-to-market solution for remanufacturers and are still the only solution protected by multiple U.S.patents. 

As we have stated for more than 18 months, our gears are safe and will not be impacted by the GEO. We take all patents extremely serious and respect the intellectual property of the OEMs through the development, engineering and manufacturing process.
