Since the recent introduction of a negative pressure device by Innovative Therapies (ITI), Kinetic Concepts (KCI) has discovered that the device unlawfully incorporates inventions covered by the three Wake Forest patents. KCI and Wake Forest are seeking damages and permanent injunctive relief in the case.
Catherine Burzik, president and CEO of KCI, said: “Patent protection is the key to innovation across all industries. We have filed this case because our intellectual property is being knowingly and unlawfully exploited.”
