Both companies came to an agreement to drop all claims and counterclaims without prejudice, according to a filing from the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware.
Four things to know about the lawsuit:
- Teladoc sued Amwell Oct. 12, 2020, alleging that Amwell’s telemedicine carts, digital stethoscope and multilens digital scope infringe on nine patents. The company sought out an unspecified cash compensation and a court order to block further unauthorized use of the inventions.
- InTouch Technologies, which was acquired by Teladoc for $600 million in January 2020, contains a patent portfolio that covers virtual care technologies including robot use and telemedicine carts. The patents in the lawsuit stem from the InTouch acquisition.
- Amwell told The Wall Street Journal when the suit was filed that the claims “lack merit” and that it “intend[s] to defend against them vigorously.”
- Judge Maryellen Noreika in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware approved the dismissal of claims and counterclaims from both companies July 6.
