Align Tech Comments on Federal Patent Infringement Lawsuit

Align Technology, Inc.

today responded to a press release issued on June 28, 2012 by ClearCorrect relating to the stay issued nearly two months ago of Align's patent infringement lawsuit against ClearCorrect filed last year in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas. ClearCorrect's press release states that "the US District Court recently granted the motion to stay the case in ClearCorrect's favor, effectively stopping the federal case indefinitely and virtually guaranteeing the continued unrestricted operation of the company's US-based manufacturing facility for the foreseeable future."
