Conceptus Inc. (NSDQ:CPTS) and Hologic Inc. (NSDQ:HOLX) agreed to narrow the scope of a patent infringement lawsuit over their respective female sterilization treatments, dropping all unfair competition claims and counter-claims from the case.
Mountain View, Calif.-based Conceptus sued its Bedford, Mass.-based competitor in May 2009, alleging infringement of five patents for its Essure female sterilization system.
