Medit wins consecutive patent lawsuits against 3Shape
Katherine E. Pfaff
Medit Corp., a global provider of 3D scanning solutions, has successfully defended against four separate patent infringement actions filed in Germany by a Danish competitor, 3Shape. Over the past three years, 3Shape has aggressively pursued patent infringement actions against Medit based on four patents, according to a news release. However, all four patent lawsuits have now been concluded in Medit's favor by German courts. Moreover, one of the four patents were invalidated by German courts.
In a published statement, Medit officials said that the court confirmed these cases were without merit and an attempt by the competitor to protect its preemptive position.
“We hope that this result helps discourage reckless legal disputes in the future. We see this as a victory for our customers and partners, and ultimately all those interested in digital dentistry. These rulings offer digital dentistry market a greater clarity and much needed security."
