On February 7, the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) issued a pair of seizure-and-forfeiture orders to entities that attempted to import toner cartridges that infringe Canon’s dongle gear patents. Seizure-and-forfeiture orders are issued after the U.S. Bureau of Customs and Border Protection (CBP) finds items that violate the ITC’s general exclusion orders (GEOs) at U.S.
