Spinal Device Co. Wins Ban Against Rival, But Must Pay Bond
Law360 (March 15, 2021, 10:04 PM EDT) An Illinois federal judge on Monday granted Life Spine Inc. s bid for a preliminary injunction against a former distributor s competing spinal implant device as the companies fight over whether the ex-distributor ripped off Life Spine s best-selling product, but also ordered Life Spine to put up a $6 million bond.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Young B. Kim issued the preliminary injunction following a nine-day hearing last November, barring Aegis Spine Inc. from continuing to sell its AccelFix-XT line of spinal cages, which are marketed to surgeons and hospitals for patients suffering from degenerative disc disease and directly compete with a similar cage Life.
