Nyxoah Initiates Legal Action Against Inspire Medical Systems

Nyxoah SA, a Belgian medical technology firm focused on innovative treatments for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), announced it has filed a lawsuit against Inspire Medical Systems, Inc. Nyxoah claims that the Inspire IV and Inspire V devices infringe on its patents, specifically U.S. Patent Nos. 8,700,183, 9,415,215, and 9,415,216. The lawsuit, lodged in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, seeks injunctive relief and damages.

Nyxoah's CEO, Olivier Taelman, emphasized the company’s commitment to defending its intellectual property, particularly highlighting its Genio® system. This system offers bi-lateral stimulation without traditional pacemaker hardware, is MRI compatible, and is designed to be upgradable without requiring additional surgeries.
