The appellate court found that Stryker’s accused device contains precisely the same structure shown in TriMed’s patent. TriMed is seeking a permanent injunction of Stryker from further use or sale of its Radial and Ulnar Column Plates. In addition, the company also seeks monetary damages due to Stryker’s infringement.
TriMed has filed a patent infringement case against Stryker in early 2006 in the US District Court of California, in Los Angeles. The suit claimed infringement of its US patent which protects the company’s Radial Pin Plate and the Ulnar Pin Plate used for the distal radius (wrist) fractures.
