  NOTICE OF PROPOSED CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT

/In re HP Printer Firmware Update Litigation/, No. 5:16-cv-05820-EJD
(N.D. Cal.)
 
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA
 
/A court authorized this notice. This is not a solicitation from a lawyer./
 
A settlement has been reached with HP in a class action lawsuit about
Dynamic Security, a technology HP placed on certain of its inkjet
printers. Plaintiffs allege Dynamic Security caused printers to stop
working if they were using certain non-HP replacement ink cartridges. HP
agrees under the Settlement not to reactivate Dynamic Security in the
Class Printers and to pay $1.5 million. HP denies that it did anything
wrong.

*_WHO IS INCLUDED?_*

You are a Class Member, and are included in the Settlement, if you owned
a Class Printer between March 1, 2015, and December 31, 2017. The Class
Printers are as follows:

  * HP OfficeJet Pro 6230, 6830, 6835
  * HP OfficeJet 6812, 6815, 6820

*_WHAT CAN I GET?_*

To get money from the Settlement, you must be a Class Member whose Class
Printer experienced a print interruption while using a working non-HP
replacement ink cartridge between March 1, 2015, and December 31, 2017.

replacement cartridges, a replacement printer, or printing or printer
repair services. You can make a claim and attach receipts or other

time without attaching documentation by providing the information
requested on the Claim Form about your print interruption. The
Settlement money will be used to pay all documented claims first, with
any remaining money divided equally among all Class Members. The amount
of money Authorized Claimants will get will depend on the number and
type of claims submitted.
