What will be the impact from the Conformis lawsuit?

[anonymous]

How is this embarrassing? ConforMis is losing to visionaire so bad they are suing desperately for 8 patent violations that are laughable, and mostly hoping for a win by saying SN tainted the market by mis promoting visionaire as custom knees even though they are off the shelf. Conformis needs to worry about a revision system before they start putting knees in people. I have seen more knees getting put in from small companies out of India then conformis knees. Good luck to any patient who doesn't have options during their case.

We'll see how laughable the patent violations are.

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.
