Fujifilm is Suing More Than 50 Grey Market Camera Sellers For Unfair Competition

Worldipreview reported that Fujifilm is filing lawsuits against more than 50 grey market sellers in the US:

“Digital camera manufacturer Fujifilm has targeted more than 50 defendants in an action for unfair competition. Filed at the US District Court for the Eastern District of New York on Tuesday, October 11, Fujifilm’s suit alleged that the defendants, which include retailers, wilfully imported and sold grey market cameras. According to Fujifilm, the cameras physically and materially differ from products authorized for import to and sale in the US.”

Fujifilm has been very litigious lately and I am not sure the bad PR is going to be worth the results if they should win. Canon filed and Olympus have filed similar suites in the past.
