HP – one of the leading global printing and computer equipment manufacturers – admitted giving bribes to get a computer equipment supplying deal with Russian Attorney General's Office in 2003. 

Several Russian media has simultaneously published articles on HP admitting giving bribes in Russia.

According to the Russian media sources, HP – one of the leading global printing and computer equipment manufacturers – admitted giving bribes to get a computer equipment supplying deal with Russian Attorney General's Office in 2003. The investigation of this case began already in 2009 inGermany(the shipments were conducted on behalf of HP’s German representative office). Later the investigation was also joined by US officials. According to the verdict of the Californian Northern District Court, which had been dealing with US claim against HP’s Russian representative office, HP has been found guilty of giving bribes to Russian officials and organizing respective ‘grey’ 8 million euro fund, as well as concealing this information from the HP’s head office. The Russian representative office admitted itself guilty of violating US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA). Besides HP’s Russian office, HP’s Polish and Mexican offices also admitted the violation of FCPA. As a result, HP will pay 108 million USD penalty (the sum includes ‘punishment’ for analogous corrupt practices in MexicoandPoland).

            However not all Russian media joined the discussion of the story. Information Agency “Business-Inform” General Director, mr. Malinsky Stanislav told Recycling Times in an interview – “We will not discuss this occasion. Of course, the fact that HP had been giving bribes to Russian officials is a shame for such a well-known company. We can continue writing the word ‘shame’ for a long time. However, we are paying your attention that these articles (quite justly condemning HP) lack the names of the Russian officials who received the bribes. Why we are not being told the names, if the bribing scheme was so perfectly unveiled? The officials who received the bribes are no less guilty than HP! Such crime as bribery always has two sides guilty – the ones who gave and the ones who received the bribe. Until the names become known we will abstain from discussing the case”.

Recycling Times Magazine has published a small article, called “Clone Cartridges Sold in Russia May Violate OEM Patents” on its web-site as a response of HP and Lexmark to the interview with Information Agency “Business-Inform” Director, mr. Malinskiy S.V. regarding the specifics of the Russian market. HP and Lexmark representatives claim that the situation with registration of their patents in Russia has considerably changed and recently most of OEMs’ patents regarding laser cartridges have been registered. This is a very important issue for the Russian market. Which patents are registered? When they were registered? Why there is still NOT A SINGLE lawsuit being filed by the OEMs against the suppliers violating registered patents? The discussion of the article and related issues takes place in BUSINESS-INFOR 2014 group at LinkedIn.com

Comment from mr. Malinskiy S.V.:

I send the questions to the specialist of HP Matthew Barkley : “… What patents of HP are registered in Russia? When they were registered? What LASER cartridges these patents are deal with? Why there are no lawsuit to sellers of clones?..” 

And I received the following answer from Mr. Matthew Barkley: “…Regarding the comments from HP at the Recycling Times publications, I am responding on the basis of HP Inkjet business and HP inkjet patents in Russia. I represent HP’s inkjet business and that’s the scope of my comments..”

COLLEAGUES !!!!  Please, pay attention to the fact, that my interview and my report was about the market of LASER cartridges.   :-)

And every day on the market of digital and physical prototyping new companies appear attempting to improve printing processes, as well as software and modeling systems. A large part of already existing institutions and organizations specially allocate resources for researching consumables and their safety qualities. That is why BUSINESS-INFORM Informational Agency created a new unit dedicated to research and presentation of 3D technologies. Work on informational support of this market segment in Russia are already in progress and the Agency plans to present several recent 3D technology products at the coming exhibition in May 2014.

That is why, it is not surprising that 3D printers, scanners and many other devices directly connected to the realization of up-to-date technical solutions are attracting more and more interest. In US, Europe, China and other regions exhibitions, conferences, and seminars take place, during which leading specialists in 3D technologies demonstrate their latest developments, share experience in practical implementation of these technologies.

Annually a great number of new technical devices, software, and technologies appear on the market. More attention is being paid towards usage and maintenance services, characteristics and features of supplies. In this light, the issue of modern 3D devices’ presentation is well-timed for both potential buyers and sellers. This is the main reason why BUSINESS-INFORM Informational Projects adds 3D printing dedicated direction to its agenda. Agency’s specialists are already engaged in providing informational support to the corresponding segment of the Russian market. It is planned to present modern technical appliances and supplies already at the approaching BUSINESS-INFORM 2014 Exhibition (Moscow, All-Russia Exhibition Center, May 20-22, 2014).

Concerning the Consequences of OEM-Patents Registration to the Russian Market of Laser Printing Supplies 

Business-Inform Informational Agency has finished the research concerning the consequences of the possible OEM-patent registration to the Russian market of the laser printing supplies. The calculations showed the following (see the diagram below):

The registration of OEM-patents in Russia will not influence the existing market dynamics tendencies in 2014-2017 (during 2012-2017 – new compatible cartridges sales will fall from 8.4mln to 7.3mln pcs., original cartridges sales will grow from 10.5mln to 12.5mln pcs., the amount of refilled/remanufactured cartridges will grow from 28.5mln to 35.9mln pcs.), however it will make the described tendencies more apparent. In case the OEM-patents registration will happen in the first quarter of 2014, then in 2012-2017 new compatible cartridges sales will fall from 8.4mln to 5.5mln pcs., original cartridges sales will growfrom 10.5mln to 13.0mln pcs., the amount of refilled/remanufactured cartridges will grow from 28.5mln to 37.1mln pcs. On the whole, in case of OEM-patents registration, in 2014-2017, 52,8 mln pcs. of original cartridges (7.5% growth), 18.4mln pcs. of compatible cartridges (40% decline), 141.0mln pcs. refilled/remanufactured cartridges (4.8% growth) will be sold.

The calculations show that in 2014-2017 the market will mainly grow in refilling/remanufacturing segment. The growth of printing supplies segment is also notable; however economical feasibility of OEM-patents registration in Russiais quite questionable. In case of the implementation of a strong variant of Chinese compatibles import limitations and buyers partial reorientation towards OEM cartridges, the Russian market will face a serious lack of resources for planned replacement and development of laser printing devices fleet, that in turn will lead to reducing of equipment procurements by 0.6/0.65mln units (for 2014-2017 period).

The evaluation of the world leading brands (HP, Xerox, Samsung, Canon, Kyocera, Brother, Oki, Panasonic) shares in the total amount of b/w cartridge procurements by Russian state structures showed that the correlation of shares of the first eight brands changed considerably if compared with 2011-2012 results (see the picture): HP – 50.42% (in 2012-2011 – 51.7/52.8%), Xerox – 19.94% (in 2012-2011 – 15.3/13.5%), Samsung – 12.42% (in 2012-2011 – 11.9/10.2%), Canon – 7.23% (in 2012-2011 – 7.8/8.1%), Kyocera – 4.78% (in 2012-2011 – 5.2/5.8%), Brother – 2.55% (in 2012-2011 – 3.0/3.1%), Oki – 1.17% (in 2012-2011 – 1.3/1.8%), Panasonic– 1.06% (in 2012-2011 – 1.6/1.3%).  So, the total share of the six leading brands during the first half of 2013 constituted 96.3% of all the cartridge supplies for b/w printing (in pcs.). The comparison of the received data with 2011-2012 results shows the growth of supplying rates for Xerox and Samsung cartridges and considerable decrease in tender procurements of HP and Canon cartridges.
