On October 10, 2012, Thermomedics and its former parent company, Sanomedics (together “Sano”), received a cease and desist demand letter from Exergen Corporation (“Exergen”), claiming that Sano infringed on certain Exergen patents relating to Sano’s non-contact thermometers. On May 21, 2013, Exergen filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court of the District of Massachusetts against Sano. On September 3, 2013, Sano filed its answer to Exergen’s complaint and asserted counterclaims and affirmative defenses for non-infringement and invalidity of certain patents. On March 26, 2015, Exergen and Sano filed a partial dismissal that removes Sano’s previous product, the Talking Non-Contact Thermometer, from the lawsuit. On September 15, 2015, the United States District Court – District of Massachusetts, entered an order granting Sano’s motion for summary judgment, ruling that the patent claims made by Exergen against Sano were invalid. On June 22, 2016, the U.S. Court of Appeals affirmed the United States District Court – District of Massachusetts’ summary judgment decision in favor of Thermomedics that the patent claims asserted against Thermomedics by Exergen are invalid. The period for Exergen to object has expired.
