At the same time, Align filed a new lawsuit against 3Shape in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas alleging infringement of seven patents.

Key Points: 
  • At the same time, Align filed a new lawsuit against 3Shape in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas alleging infringement of seven patents.
  • As with their previous lawsuits against 3Shape, this new lawsuit and infringement claims continue Aligns apparent strategy of using litigation to attack 3Shape instead of competing in the marketplace.
  • "Aligns previous attempts to bully 3Shape through litigation have so far been unsuccessful with the ITC finding in favor of 3Shape in two cases and the U.S. Patent Office finding multiple of Aligns patents invalid."
  • In addition to defending itself against Aligns waves of litigation, 3Shape has a case pending against Align for infringement of 3Shape patents, 24 petitions to address the invalidity of a number of Align patents, and an antitrust lawsuit to address Aligns abuse of monopoly power.
