Warsaw, Ind.-based Zimmer Biomet filed a lawsuit Aug. 9 against Englewood, N.J.-based Integrated Dental Systems, accusing the rival company of infringing trademarks with its dental implant systems, according to court documents.
Zimmer is also claiming IDS misleads consumers about the compatibility of its products with Zimmer implants.
Zimmer is seeking IDS profits gained through alleged infringement and false designation of origin; damages for false advertising and unfair competition; and orders stopping IDS from using any system names similar to Zimmer's and from engaging in false or misleading consumers about product compatibility.
Becker's has reached out to Integrated Dental Systems and will update this article as more information becomes available.
