Dear Steve, As you would expect, Hewlett Packard has covered the construction of its ink jet cartridges ("pens") with numerous patents. You can have a look at the text of these patents by searching the site www.patents.ibm.com/ibm.html using the keywords "Hewlett Packard" AND "ink*". This site is free as long as you only want to look at the patents. HP also has a number of lawsuits going against people who tried to sell cartridges resembling the ones they make. that's as far as I can help you.. Best regards Werner Sieber
