Executive Summary
German company BrainLAB has won its appeal against an earlier court decision, which found that the Munich-based firm infringed four patents held or licensed by Medtronic. A US district court in Denver this week overturned the September 2005 verdict, ruling that BrainLAB's image-guided surgery/radiotherapy products did not infringe any of the patents and that there was not enough evidence to determine otherwise.
