Comment Didn't Lexmark lose this case in the early 2000s? (Score 4, Informative) 116
I have been seeing this same story repeat in various forms since before the year started with the number two. I don't understand why this keeps coming up. Lexmark tried putting chips in their ink/toner in 2003 and lost that case even up to the supreme court. The Magnuson-Moss warranty act was passed in 1975 and was intended to prevent this kind of shenanigans. Obviously at the time nobody was putting computer chips into vacuum cleaner bags, but it is the same spirit.
This just should not be a discussion any longer! Settled! Done! Kaput! Go away!
