11648091

Align Technology asserted the '936 patent, identified as the Composite Image Patent, against ClearCorrect/Straumann over the Virtuo Vivo intraoral scanner system as one of nine asserted patents. The court denied ClearCorrect's § 101 summary judgment of invalidity on June 15, 2026; a July 2, 2026 jury returned a mixed verdict on four other patents and rejected antitrust counterclaims, with the specific '936 disposition unverified.

Align Technology sued Angelalign Technology and affiliated entities, asserting U.S. 11,648,091 and U.S. 11,154,384. The accused products include Angel Aligner Pro, Select, and KiD systems made from a three-layer material such as Bay Materials' Zendura FLX. No judgment or termination was found.

ClearCorrect Operating, LLC petitioned for inter partes review of U.S. 11,648,091. ClearCorrect identified ClearCorrect Holdings, Inc., Institut Straumann AG, and Straumann USA, LLC as real parties in interest, and the related district court case is Align Technology, Inc. v. ClearCorrect Operating, LLC, No. 6:24-cv-00187-ADA-DTG (W.D. Tex.). The IPR was instituted and remains pending.
