Integra LifeSciences (NSDQ:IART) yesterday hit rival HyperBranch Medical Technology with a lawsuit alleging infringement of 6 patents related to the DuraSeal neurosurgical sealant it acquired along with Confluent Surgical last year.
Covidien dealt its Confluent Surgical line to Integra in January 2014 for $235 million in up-front cash and another $30 million in milestones. Yesterday Integra said Durham, N.C.-based HyperBranch’s Adherus and Adherus Autospray dural sealants and its Adherus spinal sealant infringe 6 patents it licenses from Incept, according to court documents.
The lawsuit alleges literal infringement and infringement under the doctrine of equivalents, plus induced infringement and contributory infringement, according to the documents. HyperBranch has known of the alleged infringement since at least Jan. 31, Integra alleged, according to the lawsuit.
Plainsboro, N.J.-based Integra wants a jury trial, an injunction barring the manufacture and sale of the Adherus products and triple damages for willful infringement, plus
The lawsuit asks the court to enjoin HyperBranch from continuing to make, sell, and offer to sell the Adherus products and to grant treble damages for willful infringement, according to the documents.
HyperBranch won pre-market approval from the FDA for the Adherus Autospray sealant in March.
