The United States International Trade Commission (ITC) has accepted the request of ResMed to investigate alleged infringement of its patented technology by Chinese medical device manufacturer BMC Medical Co., Ltd. and its U.S. distributor, 3B Medical.
ResMed is a medical device company in sleep-disordered breathing and respiratory care.
The ITC has agreed to review the alleged infringement of four ResMed patents by BMC’s first and second generation flow generator products, the RESmart and the Luna. The ResMed patents cover ResMed’s innovative flow generators and ventilators, including patents relating to the design for a flow generator and humidifier to improve performance and ease of use as well as one patent that protects a specific feature of the products.
