Zeiss/Optovue dispute resolved

The intellectual property dispute between Carl Zeiss Meditec and Optovue has been resolved by the companies, ahead of the legal case reaching court.

The disputes, which were pending in the Northern District of California and Massachusetts Superior Court, were filed by Optovue in June 2007, alleging trademark infringement.

Although full terms of the final settlement agreement remain confidential, it is understood that the companies have now reached an agreement on intellectual property licensing and protection.
