Sirona and OnDemand 3D Enter Into A Settlement and License Agreement For Dental Surgical Drill Guides

Sirona

, the dental technology leader, and OnDemand 3D Technology, Inc. today announced that the companies have entered into a settlement and license agreement to resolve the pending litigation concerning Sirona's U.S. Patent No. 6,319,006 ("the '006 patent"), which covers methods of planning dental surgical drill guides. OnDemand 3D has agreed to an up-front payment and ongoing royalties to Sirona. Under the agreement, OnDemand acknowledges both the validity of Sirona's patent and also the infringement of the OnDemand In2Guide product. Sirona has granted OnDemand a limited license to use a modified version of its In2Guide to plan a dental surgical drill guide that must be fabricated at a central facility, but is restricted from using the software to plan the fabrication of a chairside surgical drill guide. Sirona is the leading innovator in the dental industry and will continue to vigorously defend its intellectual property rights globally.
