Conceptus Intends to Appeal Court Order in Hologic Patent Infringement Case

Conceptus, Inc.

announced today that it intends to file an appeal to overturn the court's ruling denying Conceptus' motion for permanent injunction against Hologic Inc.'s Adiana system. In addition, Hologic has today filed an appeal of the jury's patent validity and infringement verdict. Conceptus also noted that it maintains the right to file a separate lawsuit at any time for supplemental, post-judgment damages for Hologic's infringement on Conceptus' patent rights, which may include lost profits in addition to the $18.8 million already awarded by the jury, royalty payments and interest from July 2011 through the trial of such lawsuit. Only the timing of such lawsuit will likely be impacted by these appeals.
