Alcon loses patent lawsuit.
Byline: Maria M. Perotin
May 7--Alcon must pay a competitor $94.8 million in damages for violating the rival's patents for cataract surgery equipment, a Delaware jury decided Friday.
Jurors found that certain features in the eye-care giant's Infiniti and Legacy series of cataract removal devices infringed on two of Advanced Medical Optics' patents.
Doug MacHatton, Alcon's vice president of investor relations, said the company intends to appeal the decision.
"We believe very strongly that the jury verdict of infringement is not supported by the evidence," he said.
Nonetheless, Alcon intends to remove the components from the Infiniti and Legacy equipment, in part because few physicians use the technology, which helps control how much power is delivered to the surgical device, MacHatton said.
The $94.8 million award will not affect Alcon's operations in any way, he said.
