HP would say that "compatible with HP printers" goes well beyond nominative.
Per HP documentation, HP printers are only compatible with HP-licensed ink. So anyone saying "compatible with HP" is incorrectly stating they are licensed by HP.
Try selling a cupholder, or a cup, that is "compatible with Ferrari" and you should expect lawyers. (Ferrari famously hates aftermarket parts.)
- HeatrayEnjoyer 2y agoHP and Ferrari are not the oracles of what can be compatible with their products or not. Compatibility is a physical trait, not something you can license or gatekeep.
