WHAT citations?   You didn't supply ANY citations.

Anyway I clarified my comment earlier, that what was voided was
just the part damaged by the third-party inks, e.g., the head.

Anyone can say Sherman AntiTrust Act, but the fact
is that the Sherman has only been invoked rarely, and
when it is it's a big Federal case.   To violate the Sherman
Antitrust Act a company has to form a "trust" meaning
that Epson would have to work in cahoots with some OTHER
company in a way so as to keep some part of the market to
themselves, manipulate prices, etc.

Historically the Sherman has been VERY hard to prove or
enforce. If the government can't convince the courts that Microsoft
+ Intel (which own 95% of the desktop computer market) are
in violation then you can be sure that Sherman doesn't live here
anymore.
