    Business Wire03.16.20
    Axonics Modulation Technologies Inc., a medical technology company that has developed and is commercializing novel implantable Sacral Neuromodulation (“SNM”) devices for the treatment of urinary and bowel dysfunction, reported the company is filing seven petitions before the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) requesting inter partes review (“IPR”) to contest the validity of each of the patents Medtronic has alleged to be infringed by Axonics.
     
    The IPR petitions filed by Axonics concern the following Medtronic-owned patents: 8,036,756; 8,626,314; 7,774,069; 8,457,758; 8,738,148; 9,463,324 and 9,821,112.
     
    Raymond W. Cohen, CEO of Axonics commented, “Since its inception in late 2013, Axonics has invested millions of dollars and thousands of hours into understanding the relevant and adjacent intellectual property landscape while developing our products and our own intellectual property. While this type of anticompetitive behavior from the incumbent is regrettable, as evidenced by this USPTO filing, we are ready and quite able to respond appropriately. We believe that we have provided the USPTO compelling challenges to the validity of the Medtronic patents at issue and now await institution of each IPR petition.”
