Lexmark's war against a man who recycles toner cartridges

But in 2013, Smith started getting threatening letters
from lawyers representing Lexmark. The letters accused his
family company Impression Products, Inc. of patent infringement,
based on a theory that Smith found baffling. Some of the empty
cartridges that Impression Products recycled had first been sold
overseas. Lexmark insisted that as patent holder, it had the
right to block Impression Products from refilling or reselling
these foreign-market cartridges in the U.S.
