Business Wire - Wed Feb 11, 4:40PM CST
Immersion Corporation (NASDAQ:IMMR), the leading developer and licensor of touch feedback technology, today announced that the judge issued opinions on claim construction and summary judgment motions in Immersion's lawsuit in the U.S. District Court against HTC Corporation for infringement of certain of Immersion's patents. In issuing his opinion, the judge denied HTC's summary judgment argument that it did not infringe two of Immersion's patents, U.S. Patent No. 6,429,846 and U.S. Patent No. 7,969,288 but invalidated three other of Immersion's patents in suit on procedural grounds. "We are pleased with the Court's decision to rule in our favor with respect to two of our strongest patents in suit," said Victor Viegas, chief executive officer and president at Immersion. "While it is always expected that certain patent claims will be trimmed during the course of litigation," continued Mr. Viegas, "we are disappointed in the judge's procedural interpretation, believe we have a strong basis for overturning it, and are considering appropriate avenues for relief. In light of this ruling, we remain extremely confident in our case and look forward to the upcoming trial."

M2 - Wed Jan 07, 8:44AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/clshb9/global_medical) has announced the addition of the "Global Medical Robotics Market by Application, Type - Segmentation and Forecast 2014-2020" report to their offering. Advances in healthcare technology over the years have showed tremendous growth. From surgical devices to radio imaging and treatment methods, all aspects of medicines have taken technological leaps in the recent decades, making healthcare technology one of the most lucrative markets. The demand for robotics in healthcare, especially surgical procedures is increasing. Robotic procedures are deemed safer in situations where humans might make errors, as robotic procedures have far greater precision and leave minimum margin for error, and therefore having robotic systems in a hospital would be able to generate more revenue. Robots can also create better clinical outcomes and curtail labour costs, leading to an exponential growth in demand. However, surgery is not the only field with robotic advancements. Robotic panels are found in all segments of healthcare, such as sanitation and for disinfecting purposes, sterilization of instruments, processing laboratory supplies and other fields where technology aids and can replace human effort. Robotics in medicine is viewed as an all-round technological advancement, which is not limited to only one section. This is potentially the biggest leap in technology for the healthcare industry since the introduction of IT and has the scope of commercially being a vibrant industry with extensive chains of supply, production and R&D development.

Virtual Reality technology is a computer-simulated environment that can recreate sensory experiences and stimulate presence in locations that are from the real world or may be from an imagined world. It has generated tremendous excitement in the healthcare industry where the applications of virtual reality technology extend to psychiatric, training, medical practice, and among other branches of medicine as a part of alternate therapies. Depression & PTSD, surgery simulation, phobia treatment, robotic surgery and skills training are the most common situations where the use of Virtual Reality Technology has proven successful. Virtual Reality has also proven effective in treating pain by distracting the brain and reducing the need for drugs during painful and physically unpleasant treatments which reduce exposure to strong narcotics and addictive painkillers. Due to the expensive nature of this new technology, it is available in very limited parts of the world, mostly in developed countries. The demand for Virtual Reality Technology for treatments is increasing in healthcare, but expensive hardware, inadequate training of medical practitioners and lack of awareness amongst the patient population are some of the challenges faced by this market. However, the market is lucrative in the developed countries of Europe and North America though the opportunities are huge in emerging economies as the technology is still inaccessible in those countries.
