ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS
On October 17, 2011, the Registrant publicly disseminated a press release announcing that it has won a favorable jury verdict in its patent infringement lawsuit against Hologic, Inc. in the United
States District Court, Northern District of California. The jury has awarded Conceptus $18.8 million in monetary damages.
The
jury found that use of Hologics Adiana Permanent Contraception system infringed two claims of the Registrants U.S. Patent Number 6,634,361 related to the Essure procedure, and that Hologic indirectly infringed those claims. The jury also
upheld the validity of the claims.
The Registrant will seek an injunction prohibiting Hologic from importing, using, selling
or offering to sell its Adiana system in the United States. This issue will be addressed by the Court in future proceedings.
