Clear aligner manufacturer Angelalign Technology has denied accusations of patent infringement from Align Technology.
Align Technology recently filed patent infringement lawsuits against Angelalign in the U.S., Europe and China and is seeking injunctive relief and monetary damages.
The latter’s chief commercial officer and senior vice president, Rich Hirschland, said that the accusations are “frivolous and entirely without merit,” according to an Aug. 20 news release from Angelalign.
Angelalign’s portfolio includes the angelButton, angelHook, A6 mandibular advancement system, angelKid system and Intelligent Root System.
Based in Shanghai, China, Angelalign was founded in 2003 and has provided aligners to more than 1.5 million patients across more than 50 countries.
