Good post and I agree with everything except #4. ISRG will defend this space regardless of merit, but it should not frighten anyone interested in buying or holding long on Titan.

Moreover, I had mentioned in a previous post that when Amadeus was being developed the prospectus contained language that clearly spelled out that Titan had "not" done any market research to assure that their technology would not infringe on existing marketplace technology. Amadeus was shelved as we all know. I haven't seen that language associated in the prospectus or MD&A with SPORT. My point is that as vast as ISRG's IP portfolio is, there can be no guarantee that law suits will not be filed with or without merit. That's the whole purpose of complex and lengthy patents.

So, regarding #4 - you feel that ISRG will just take it and there will be no frivolous lawsuits...just want to make sure that I have that correct ?

Another note here, most do not even understand the product. They are not going after Intuitive!!! This is single port surgery, intuitive does not do this well. It is a niche market. This thing get to 20-$30 per share tops.... They still have a long road to clearance, so it still could test mid $1 again. Be patient but on dips and hope they stay on track for launch.

This guys post gave more useful information than the last few hundred post for Chump and Cheerios.

Your right i dont want to go to prison. Im keeping my mouth shut from now on. But im still going to defend titan against all the naysayers. I love this company and have a lot invested. I will be damned if i let any one come here and spew negative bullchit about it..

Belize,

You seem to have a good grasp of the market, so why is it, in your opinion, that ISRG is not moving forward now with their Single Port version?

Belize - excellent post, however I have to go against the grain on (4). "Frivilous" is the term used by the company subject to the lawsuit, therefore all lawsuits are considered frivilous, by one of the two parties involved. In general, patent suits are common place amongst medical device manufacturers - BSX v MDT, Neurovision v Nuvasive, Mako v Bluebelt Technologies, KCI v SN, Computer Motion v ISRG and Neutar v Mazor Robotics, to name a few. Now, I am hopeful that if a patent suit is initiated - it's on Titan's end, like previously stated and I am cautiously optimistic Titan/Columbia's patent attorney's have done the exhaustive research necessary to protect their IP. Frivilous or not, it would be naive to believe Intuitive will sit back idle and allow Titan to flawlessly execute their strategy without trying to disrupt/crush them. I do hope I am wrong...
