I am a firm believer in protection of intellectual property. It is true,
however, that many large companies know that they can sue smaller firms and
either break them or intimidate them financially with legal costs. It is
also true that China has been lax in enforcing intellectual property rights.
Hopefully, third party manufacturers have altered the cartridge designs
enough to avoid infringement.
