Dentsply Sirona Inc. wins Summary Judgment against Edge Endo and US Endodontics in Patent Infringement Case
June 24 2020 - 06:00PM
DENTSPLY SIRONA Inc. (“Dentsply Sirona”) (Nasdaq: XRAY), The Dental
Solutions Company, today announced that on Tuesday, June 23rd, 2020
the United States District Court for the District of New Mexico, in
a ruling by Judge Joseph F. Bataillon, held that EdgeTaper Encore
endodontic files sold by US Endodontics and Edge Endo infringe at
least three valid claims of patents asserted by Dentsply Sirona
Inc. Judge Bataillon granted Dentsply Sirona’s motion for
summary judgment that each of the three patent claims were
infringed by EdgeTaper Encore and that Dentsply Sirona’s three
patent claims are valid. The Court also rejected Edge’s
request to dismiss Dentsply Sirona’s claim that Edge’s infringement
was willful. A finding of willful infringement allows the
Court to award treble damages and attorneys’ fees against an
adjudicated infringer.
Dentsply Sirona’s case against Edge and US Endo is scheduled for
trial before a jury in Albuquerque, New Mexico beginning on August
17, 2020. At issue will be Dentsply Sirona’s claims for
willful infringement and damages with respect to the three claims
that have already been held valid and infringed, as well as
Dentsply Sirona’s assertion of infringement with respect to
additional patent claims.
