HP Wins 2 Trademark-Infringement Suits

Hewlett-Packard Co. said it won court rulings in two trademark-infringement lawsuits against office supply companies. The Palo Alto-based computer equipment maker said it won judgments against Supreme Office Products of Los Angeles and OPG Industries of New York. Both of the closely held companies had been selling refilled toner cartridges used in Hewlett-Packard computer printers as new equipment, prompting customer complaints. The two will have to pay Hewlett-Packard about $1 million in profit from the illicit sales. Hewlett-Packard said it has won several similar cases in the last year.
