Xerox Prevails in HP Trademark Injunction Motion STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 16, 1998--A federal judge in California has rejected a request by Hewlett-Packard for a preliminary injunction prohibiting Xerox from selling a range of Xerox-branded HP compatible laser toner cartridges in their current packaging. HP also unsuccessfully sought the recall of all products sold in that packaging. In denying the motion Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Susan Illston ruled that HP had not demonstrated that it was likely to succeed in its allegation that the design of the packages violated HP trademarks. HP had argued that the design of the Xerox packaging was misleading consumers into believing that the product was endorsed or sponsored by HP. In finding that HP was unlikely to succeed in proving consumer confusion, the court relied in part on the results of an independent consumer survey submitted by Xerox that supported the Xerox position that the packaging was not confusing. "By virtue of this ruling, consumers will continue to have greater choice and flexibility in meeting their needs for high-quality, high-value laser printer supplies," said Larry Wash, vice president and general manager, New Ventures, at Xerox Supplies Group. Xerox is the largest company to offer supplies for popular models of competitive products, including HP printers. These supplies are available from a growing number of retail office suppliers, major contract stationers and catalogue houses as well as computer reseller distributors nationwide.
