Ceribell files patent infringement complaints against Natus Medical

SUNNYVALE, Calif. - Medical technology company Ceribell, Inc. (NASDAQ:CBLL), currently valued at $684 million, announced Monday it has filed complaints against Natus Medical Incorporated, alleging patent infringement and unfair competition.

The company filed a complaint with the U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) requesting an investigation and an exclusion order to prevent importation of allegedly infringing Natus products into the United States. Ceribell also filed a separate complaint in the U.S. District Court in Delaware.

According to the press release statement, Ceribell claims Natus is infringing on six of its patents related to EEG headband and electrode design features.

"From clinical research to continuous product advancements, Ceribell has made significant investments in point-of-care EEG technology," said Jane Chao, Ph.D., co-founder and CEO of Ceribell. "We will vigorously protect our intellectual property against infringement."

Ceribell develops electroencephalography (EEG) technology for diagnosing and managing neurological conditions in acute care settings. The company’s FDA-cleared Ceribell System is designed for rapid deployment in intensive care units and emergency rooms.

The litigation comes as Ceribell seeks to protect what it describes as its innovations in the healthcare technology space.
