  The first thing you look at is the definition of the "relevant market."
  Here, I think the relevant market is desktop pigment inkjet printers.  Epson
  has 100% of this market.  There is no other printer that can handle the pure
  pigment inks we use.

  And, they've left the window open for naming more parties.

  19 U.S.C. 1337(a)(3) requires that Epson have significant U.S. operations.
  That is the point of the Oregon and El Paso (gosh, wonder why there is a
  Texas presence) plants.  The details of these operations were in
  confidential exhibits.  This is one attack point.  

  I've sent an initial e-mail to the ITC regarding what I see as an attempt by
  Epson to have the ITC assist it in suppressing competition.  I'll keep this
  group posted.  I'm doing this on my own as a consumer and not as counsel for
  anyone.  Keep in mind that Epson monitors this group and the B&W market is a
  specific target of their actions.  They learn from us here, then they try to
  wipe out the competition -- business as usual.
