What will be the impact from the Conformis lawsuit?

We'll see how laughable the patent violations are.

 

whats the news lately on this? Gotta be coming to a verdict soon...of course to be appealed no matter the outcome.

No appealling when you settle.

I started this thread 2 years ago knowing this was coming. That was a warning to folks whose income is directly tied to this.

It's official.. Conformis gets $$ for every Visionaire case. Think about that when it comes to Surgeons who were already S&N users, but were converted to Visionaire because it was new/different. If S&N never converts them that revenue is still whole. But now those loyal S&N surgeons are basically Conformis surgeons by proxy.

Patent infringement is serious. S&N management is incompetent.

 

Thanks Merlin. Any other future predictions you know about now?

 

Sorry, you're wrong about that. Read the article carefully. S&N will only pay royalties if it develops the technology "for use with off-the-shelf implants beyond knee implants". VISIONAIRE blocks are only used for knee implants, so no royalty.
