InTouch Health to Appeal Decision in Patent Suit

SANTA BARBARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--InTouch Health, the leader in acute care telemedicine, today announced a verdict was reached in the Company’s patent infringement suit against VGo Communications, Inc. After a two-week trial the jury found that the VGo robot did not infringe the asserted claims of three InTouch Health patents and that two of the asserted claims were invalid. The Company intends to appeal the decision. “We are disappointed with the jury’s verdict, which we believe is erroneous based on what we maintain is strong evidence that the VGo robot infringes our patents,” said Dr. Yulun Wang, Chairman and CEO of InTouch Health. “We also believe that the evidence failed to support the invalidity verdict for two of the asserted claims. We are confident that these decisions will be corrected on appeal.”
