Patent case concerning laryngeal mask – status
Autumn 2005
LMA institutes legal proceedings against Ambu Germany claiming
infringement of a German patent concerning the reinforcement of the
tip of the laryngeal mask
August 2006
Decision announced. Ambu is infringing patent
August 2006
Launch of new version of the laryngeal mask on the German market
– no negative impact on sales
September 2006
Ambu lodges appeal – expected announcement of decision in summer
2008 – German court awaiting decision from the European Patent
Office
Subsequently
LMA institutes proceedings against Ambu Holland, Ambu France and
most recently Ambu USA (October 2007) for infringement of its patents
Status
Four cases pending. Ambu is denying all claims of an infringement of
LMA’s patent and is contesting its validity. The product which the case
concerns is no longer sold in Europe
Financial impact
So far, the cases have not negatively impacted Ambu’s revenue,
but they have led to extraordinary expenses in the form of patent
and legal fees
