Cancer: Sarif Biomedical sues Accuray over CyberKnife
February 8, 2013 by MassDevice staff
Sarif Biomedical sues medical device company Accuray for patent infringement over the latter's CyberKnife cancer treatment device.
Sarif Biomedical accused Accuray (NSDQ:ARAY) of infringing 1 of its patents with the CyberKnife radiosurgery device for cancer, which uses targeted radiation blasts to destroy tumor cells.
Tool, Texas-based Sarif's patent covers ""Computer-Assisted Microsurgery Methods and Equipment." The medical device company alleges that Accuray's device trespasses on that intellectual property, according to the lawsuit.
