Consumers could soon be able to purchase recycled printer cartridges at less cost than name brand new ones thanks to a U. S. Supreme Court ruling yesterday. The technology news website Engadget explains:
“… the Supreme Court ruled (Tuesday) that printer maker Lexmark can’t sue companies that refill old cartridges and sell them at a discount. More specifically, the court ruled that Lexmark gave away its patent rights to the cartridges (and their single-use microchips) as soon as it started selling them.”
