ITC Asks for Comments on Draeger's Infant Incubator Patent Complaint

The International Trade Commission is asking for comments by about Sept. 14 on public interest factors raised by Draeger Medical Systems’ patent complaint on infant incubators and infant warmers from Atom Medical International of Japan. The incubators and warmers are used in the treatment of premature babies. The Aug. 29 complaint alleges Atom’s infant warmers infringe patents related to humidification and temperature control capabilities (see 13090419). Draeger is requesting a limited exclusion order and cease and desist order banning import and sale of the allegedly infringing devices.
