On October 5, 2010, NuVasive, Inc. initiated a patent infringement lawsuit against Globus Medical, Inc. over Globus Medical’s LLIF lateral fusion offerings. NuVasive claims that these instruments, implants and techniques infringe on NuVasive’s XLIF intellectual property, specifically that disclosed within U.S. Patent No. 7,691,057. In fact, this is just the most current in a string of lawsuits NuVasive has levied against competitors such as Orthofix International and a counterclaim against Medtronic.
