Despite enjoying the sport of plonker baiting I've decided to kill-file
you as I've yet to see a reasoned, informative post from you. Goodbye.
Now how do I just know that you'll still respond to this post even
though I won't even see it?

The patents are a guise to allow for the suit.
For instance, brand X will incorporate a "feature" into a cartridge
that they will patent. The "feature" often does little to nothing, or
actually is a deterrent to the ability to use 3rd party product,
however, the firmware is written such that without that "feature"
present in the cartridge, the cartridge is not recognized or will not
install properly.
This is an abusive use of the patent legislation.
.... And which is done in the name of greed and nothing to do with
protecting the printer, which often costs less than the ink it uses (and
sometimes thrown in as a freebie for buying a camera or computer).
Imagine the food industry adding some chemical that would addict us to
only their product and make us come back for more. Well, this is what
printer makers are trying to do - force us to come back ONLY to them.
This must be seen as illegal and should immediately be outlawed by all
governments. We don't like being held hostage. We must have total
freedom of choice in all matters related to consumables, whatever they
may be!
