NuVasive infringed five patents from a spine surgeon, a jury determined, according to an April 22 report from Bloomberg Law.
The jury ruled that screw assemblies from the Reline, Armada and VuePoint lines infringe combinations of five patents from Roger Jackson, MD, the report said. The verdict stems from Dr. Jackson’s 2021 lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for Delaware.
Damages will be determined at a later date, but the jury found NuVasive didn’t willfully infringe on the patents, the report said.
A spokesperson for Globus Medical, which acquired NuVasive in 2023, told Becker’s that the company doesn’t comment on ongoing litigation.
