    Please let the judge be an HP printer owner! If so, he’ll completely understand this bullshit.

      That’s interesting, in a case like this the chances of the judge owning an HP printer are pretty high.

      Would they still be allowed to rule on the case?

        With something ubiquitous I don’t think there is a choice.

        Think of if the case involved the iPhone or Android. You literally couldn’t find someone that didn’t own at least one of those.

        Judges recuse themselves AFAIK. An appeals court might override and say a judge shouldn’t have been on it but that’s pretty rare. So as long as the judges feels they can remain impartial they’ll be able to preside.
