Simbionix USA settled patent infringement claims from San Jose, Cal.-based Immersion Corp., by licensing Immersion’s haptics technology for use in medical procedure simulators.
Immersion Corp. makes technology that interfaces with users through the sense of touch. In April 2008, Immersion sued Simbionix in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio for infringing on patents that cover its technology.
