Align and Ormco Settle Litigation, Become Collaborators

#1 Post by bbsadmin »

Align Technology Inc and Ormco Corp, a subsidiary of Danaher Corp, have entered an exclusive agreement to jointly develop and market an orthodontic product that will combine Align’s Invisalign system and Ormco’s Insignia custom orthodontic bracket. The agreement is part of the settlement to end the patent infringement case brought by Ormco against Align.

According to a spokesperson from Align, “The goal is to provide an integrated approach to complex malocclusion treatment using technology and expertise from both companies. A combo product will provide orthodontists with a new treatment tool for their challenging cases, one that combines the best that both companies have to offer in digital orthodontics, plus the aesthetic benefits of Invisalign treatment.â€
