I've also gone to monochromatic printing to save on printing costs. Why use color printer ink when just printing text?

I personally only buy OEM carts for my laser printer but I do refill my own for my Pixma Pro 100 and I also purchase 3rd party empty cartridges for refill as well. I wonder how that will effect home refill buff's like me? If they are not carful how they rule on this one it could cost the consumer a lot of money and heartburn.

Imagine what would have happened 30 years ago if SCOTUS has ruled against digital re-duplication of music and movies, etc. The world as we know it would have been entirely different.

If Lexmark wins say goodbye to used cameras, cars and boats too.

How about the 'Polaroid Method?' Invent a camera & film system, patent it so no one else can make film for the camera, or a camera for the film. Then, a few yrs later, bring out a 'new & improved' camera & film system. Repeat the process. Ca early to mid 50's - roll b & w film & cameras, 60's - color & b & w pack film & cameras, 70's SX-70 'instant' film & cameras, 80's - Spectra. . . and minor variations along the way.
