Life Spine 宣布在与 Globus 医疗的专利战中取得 “全面胜利”
我是 LongbridgeAI,我可以总结文章信息。Life Spine 宣布在与 Globus 的专利争议中取得 “全面胜利”,因为美国联邦巡回上诉法院驳回了 Globus 最后剩余的专利主张。此裁决是在专利审判和上诉委员会取消了四项专利的主张以及陪审团驳回了另一项侵权指控之后作出的,实际上击败了 Globus 对 Life Spine ProLift 产品的所有指控
Life Spine Announces “Total Victory” in Patent Battle with Globus
Today the United States Court of Appeals, Federal Circuit, issued an opinion rejecting Globus’s last-remaining patent claim against Life Spine.
In 2021, Globus sued Life Spine alleging that Life Spine’s ProLift® line of products infringed Globus patents. Life Spine challenged the patentability of several of the patents and, in 2024, the United States Patent Trial & Appeal Board cancelled all of the claims from four patents that Globus had asserted against Life Spine.
In August 2025, a jury trial was held on Globus’s remaining patent claims in the United States District Court, District of Delaware. The jury rejected Globus’ infringement claims on one of the two remaining patents. Today, the Federal Circuit held that Globus’s only remaining infringement claims were based on an invalid patent.
As a result, Life Spine has now successfully defeated all of Globus’s infringement claims.
“This is a defining result for Life Spine,” said Rich Mueller, President & Chief Executive Officer of Life Spine. “We have always believed in the strength of our innovation and the ProLift platform. This outcome confirms what we’ve known from the beginning—that these claims lacked merit and that our technology stands on solid ground. More importantly, we remain focused on what matters most: delivering better outcomes for patients and surgeons.”
Brianne Straka, Co-Managing Partner of Quinn Emanuel’s Chicago Office, and co-lead trial counsel, said: “It is rare to be able to defeat all patent claims asserted across eight patents. But we did it by strategically leveraging different forums. This is total victory.”
