Memjet and HP Inc. have reached a settlement that includes the dismissal of all current actions between the parties and a cross-license. 

“We are pleased to have reached a settlement with HP,” said Len Lauer, CEO of Memjet. “We will continue to stay focused on creating innovative printing technology that enables our customers to realize optimal speeds, quality and costs.”

In August 2015, Memjet filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Hewlett-Packard Company in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California. The lawsuit alleged infringement of eight Memjet patents related to its page-wide “waterfall” printing technology.

Specifically, the complaint asserted infringement of the following patents:

U.S. Patent No. 6,575,549, titled “Ink Jet Fault Tolerance Using Adjacent Nozzles”
U.S. Patent No. 6,880,914, titled “Inkjet Pagewidth Printer For High Volume Pagewidth Printing”
U.S. Patent No. 7,156,492, titled “Modular Printhead Assembly With A Carrier Of A Metal Alloy”
U.S. Patent No. 7,325,986, titled “Printhead Assembly with Stacked Ink Distribution Sheets”
U.S. Patent No. 8,662,636, titled “Inkjet Printhead Having Rows Of Printhead Segments”
U.S. Patent No. 8,678,550, titled “Printhead Assembly With Laminated Ink Distribution Stack”
U.S. Patent No. 8,696,096, titled “Laminated Ink Supply Structure Mounted In Ink Distribution Arrangement Of An Inkjet Printer”
U.S. Patent No. 9,056,475, titled “Inkjet Printer With Web Feed Maintenance Assembly”

The lawsuit sought to enjoin Hewlett-Packard from its unauthorized use of Memjet’s patented page-wide waterfall technology, and to recover damages resulting from Hewlett-Packard’s use of that patented technology in HP’s PageWide printer products, including the Pro X generation of office printers, the T-Series commercial presses, and PageWide XL series products.

The terms of the settlement were not disclosed and cited as confidential.
