Advanced Bionics AG , Advanced Bionics Sarl v.MED-EL Elektromedizinische Geräte Gmb
This case concerns a revocation action and counterclaim for revocation regarding European Patent EP 4074373 titled 'MRI-SAFE DISK MAGNET FOR IMPLANTS,' which relates to magnetic arrangements in implantable medical devices such as cochlear implants that are compatible with magnetic resonance imaging. Advanced Bionics AG filed the revocation action against MED-EL Elektromedizinische Geräte GmbH, the registered proprietor, while MED-EL filed a counterclaim for revocation.
