Earlier Monday, the Federal Circuit ordered the Patent Trial and Appeal Board to re-consider two inter partes review petitions that had been brought by Axonics (AXNX) against Medtronic (MDT) patents, Wells Fargo analyst Larry Biegelsen. The firm’s patent consultant views this as a positive update for Axonics. The news today means that, whenever those other two IPRs finish, the court might continue the stay in order to wait for the two that were remanded today, says Wells. It believes Axonics “continues to gain ground.” The company has “put together an impressive set of wins in the various appeals and has meaningfully improved its overall positioning in the case,” writes Wells.
