XVIVO Perfusion is suing Vivoline to safeguard XVIVO Perfusion’s exclusive rights to Vivoline’s patents for three products invented by Professor Stig Steen. XVIVO Perfusion AB (publ) has today initiated legal proceedings against Vivoline Medical in order to safeguard the exclusive global unlimited rights that XVIVO Perfusion AB (publ) has to certain media developed by Professor Stig Steen for the evaluation and preservation of organs in connection with transplantation.

A number of Vivoline Medical’s products and related patent rights are for media created by Professor Stig Steen for the preservation and evaluation of organs, media which are based on LPD with added calcium.
