Jury Finds Axonics Did Not Infringe Any of Three Patents-in-Suit

By Connor Hart

 

A jury unanimously found that Axonics did not infringe any of the three patents-in-suit brought against the company by Medtronic in a patent infringement lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California.

Chief Executive Raymond Cohen said Wednesday that the Irvine, Calif., medical technology company's "proprietary tined lead design and temperature sensor technology is differentiated" from Medtronic's intellectual property.

"As we have said since this case was first filed in late 2019, our view is that Medtronic's lawsuit was initiated to stifle competition, limit patient and physician choice, and protect the incumbent's monopoly in sacral neuromodulation," he said.
