1 case as defendant.
Laboratoires Bodycad Inc. ("Bodycad") is a privately held orthopedic device company headquartered at 2035 rue du Haut-Bord, Quebec City, Quebec, Canada, with US offices and subsidiaries (Bodycad Laboratories, Inc. and Bodycad USA Corp.). It was founded in 2011 by Jean Robichaud and is not publicly traded. Investors have included Beaudier Inc. (Montreal); third-party trackers estimate roughly 50 employees. Bodycad filed for CCAA protection in December 2022 and, per monitor reports from Raymond Chabot, was acquired in a March 2023 credit-bid transaction by DIP lender Santé BB inc.; Geoffroy Rivet-Sabourin was named CEO in August 2023. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.
Operations. Bodycad designs and manufactures patient-specific orthopedic implants and instrumentation for the knee, built from CT/MRI imaging through its proprietary Personalized Restoration software and PREP/Preplink digital workflow, with in-house 3D printing and a vertically integrated Quebec City manufacturing site. Product lines include the Reflex Uni unicompartmental knee system (distributed in the US by Exactech as Truliant Reflex Uni), the Fine Osteotomy deformity-correction system with patient-specific guides and plates, the newer Fine TTO system for tibial tuberosity osteotomy, and OnCall custom guides for complex deformity and oncology cases. The company reports 2,000+ procedures and 500+ surgeons served. This is an operating company, not a patent assertion entity.
Litigation posture. The database shows one tracked case, in which Bodycad is a defendant and never a plaintiff — consistent with an operating company being sued rather than a litigant asserting a portfolio. The suit was filed in the Middle District of Florida (Tampa), not a plaintiff-friendly Texas venue.
Notable case. Conformis, Inc. v. Bodycad Laboratories, Inc. et al. (M.D. Fla., filed June 3, 2021) paired Bodycad with distributor Exactech. Conformis asserted six patents covering patient-specific instrumentation and knee implants (e.g., U.S. 8,974,539; 9,387,079; 7,799,077; 8,077,950; 8,638,998; 9,180,015) against the Reflex Uni and Fine Osteotomy systems. The parties settled in early 2023 for an undisclosed amount, with dismissal of all litigation and a release and license to certain Conformis patents.
Conformis sued Bodycad and Exactech in the Middle District of Florida. The case was pending per the record reviewed. Narrative states the '983 patent was not identified as asserted in this case.
