ABCCo.net, Inc. ("ABC") is a private, closely held company based at 3718 Tamiami Trail, Suite D, Port Charlotte, Florida. Corporate-registry-style profiles (Salary.com, Datanyze) list it as founded around 1999–2000, with an estimated 11–20 employees and revenue in the roughly $1M–$5M band. These figures come from third-party aggregators, not audited filings, and should be treated as approximations. No public ticker, parent company, or disclosed ownership structure was found; it shares its address and phone number with Price-Less Inkjet Cartridge Company, a Port Charlotte ink-and-toner supplier founded in 1999.
Operations. ABCCo.net describes itself as a wholesaler and exporter of imaging products — chiefly compatible/remanufactured inkjet cartridges, laser toner, and related printer consumables — supplying resellers and distributors in the U.S. and Europe. It is an operating distribution business, not a patent-assertion entity; it holds no meaningful portfolio of asserted patents and has never appeared as a plaintiff in the tracked data.
Litigation posture. The single tracked matter is defensive. ABCCo.net was one of five named respondents in the U.S. International Trade Commission Section 337 investigation Certain Ink Jet Print Cartridges and Components Thereof, filed by Hewlett-Packard Company on December 22, 2000 (Inv. No. 337-TA-446), and the only case in which the company appears (0 plaintiff cases, 1 defendant case). Two co-respondents, Printer Essentials and Cartridge Hut, settled early via consent orders.
Notable context. In its January 25, 2002 final initial determination, the ALJ found a Section 337 violation, concluding that Microjet, Price-Less, and ABC infringed the asserted HP patents (with the '073 patent's claim 4 reversed on Commission review in HP's favor). The Commission issued a limited exclusion order against Microjet and cease-and-desist orders against Price-Less and ABC in May 2002, terminating the investigation. The case sits at the intersection of the compatible-cartridge industry and HP's campaign to enforce thermal inkjet printhead and cartridge patents against third-party suppliers.
