好的牙·讯|2025年9月23日,美国隐形矫治器制造商Align Technology, Inc.(纳斯达克:ALGN,下称“隐适美母公司”)宣布,已向美国国际贸易委员会(ITC)提交申诉,指控上海时代天使医疗器械有限公司(Angelalign Technology Inc.,下称“时代天使”)未经授权进口和销售涉嫌侵犯隐适美母公司专利的隐形矫治器产品。

隐适美母公司表示,申诉基于《关税法》(Tariff Act)第337条,该条款禁止不公平竞争行为及侵权商品的进口和销售。隐适美母公司在申诉中称,时代天使的隐形矫治器产品未经许可使用了其开发的专利技术。

隐适美母公司请求ITC发布排除令(exclusion order),以阻止侵权产品进入美国市场,同时请求发布禁止令(cease-and-desist order),要求停止销售已在美国市场流通的侵权产品。

隐适美母公司执行副总裁、首席法律与监管官Julie Coletti表示:“公司正通过ITC采取必要措施,以保护公司的专利技术和研发投资免受非法进口和使用的侵害。”

截至发稿,时代天使尚未对隐适美母公司向ITC提交申诉一事作出公开回应。

据公开资料,隐适美母公司于2025年8月18日宣布对时代天使及其子公司提起专利侵权诉讼。隐适美母公司在声明中称,时代天使的部分隐形矫治产品及相关软件涉嫌侵犯其多项美国实用专利,涉及多层矫治器材料、治疗规划以及矫治器特性等核心技术。

8月21日,时代天使发布官方声明,明确否认侵权指控,并表示将积极应诉。公司称这些指控“毫无根据”,同时强调自创立以来在专利合规和临床驱动创新方面的持续投入。公司预计诉讼不会对业务造成实质性影响,并希望借此机会向外界传递品牌价值。

目前该案件仍处于初期阶段,法院尚未就涉案专利的有效性或是否构成侵权作出裁定。有关此案件的进展,《好的牙》将持续关注。
