Dako protects its intellectual property rights
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Dako, a Danish based world leader in tissue-based cancer diagnostics, has filed
a lawsuit in the US against Leica Microsystems regarding patent infringement.
"As a leader in tissue-based cancer diagnostics, Dako is a company that to a
large extent bases its development and success on proprietary innovations. We
take great care to protect these innovations by patenting our technology in
order to prevent competition from copying our innovative solutions and to ensure
that Dako stays in the forefront of the market for tissue-based cancer
diagnostics," says Dako CEO Lars Holmkvist.
Consequently, on May 3, 2011 Dako filed a complaint in the District Court of
Delaware against Leica Microsystems for using Dako technology in their BondMax
and Bond III immunohistostainers. The technology used by Leica is covered by
two patents owned by Dako.
The two US patents, US 7,217,392 and US 7,553,672, held by Dako, cover the
individual slide heating technology which among other products is used in
Artisan, Dako's market leading special staining product. The patents have
previously been licensed to Ventana Medical Systems.
