Iatric Systems Applauds Federal Appeals Court Decision Affirming Dismissal of Patent Lawsuit

Ruling supports Iatric Systems’ right to continue selling products based on proven methods of proactively monitoring, identifying and alerting providers of potential privacy violations

BOXFORD, MA – October 31, 2016 — Iatric Systems, Inc., applauds the decision of the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit to affirm a lower court’s dismissal of a patent infringement lawsuit filed against it.

The federal court in Florida, where the lawsuit [8:14-CV-02685] was filed, dismissed the lawsuit, holding that the asserted patent is directed to concepts (namely, detecting fraud and misuse of protected health information) that are not protectable under the patent laws.

“Iatric Systems has been proactively monitoring, identifying and alerting providers to potential privacy violations since at least as early as 2003, well before the patent in question entered the application process,” said Frank Fortner, President of Iatric Systems. “The lawsuit was dismissed prior to trial on these fundamental grounds, and we have achieved our goal of enhancing the prospects for a fair competitive environment.”
