The orthopedic industry has traditionally seen a high level of intellectual property litigation activity, and the last year has been no different. New lawsuits involving pedicle screws, surgical navigation, knee and hip implants and other devices have been filed by companies such as Exactech, Zimmer and Medacta, as well as by some prolific inventor physicians. Conformis has continued its serial assertion of patents related to surgical planning and patient specific instruments and implants against the likes of Stryker, DePuy, Exactech, and others. The use of Inter Partes Review continues to be pivotal in many cases, both for patent holders and challengers.

In this webinar, Knobbe Martens attorneys will discuss these and other patent and trade secret disputes and provide key takeaways relevant to orthopedics and other medical technologies that can help you with your own IP strategies and prepare you for your upcoming industry meetings.
