Bianco v. GLOBUS MEDICAL, INC.

Last updated on: June 13, 2024

On this page

In a dispute over trade secret misappropriation, Dr. Sabatino
Bianco sued Globus Medical, Inc., alleging the company used his
trade secret for a spinal surgery device without permission.
After a jury verdict in Bianco’s favor, awarding damages and
ongoing royalties for specific products, a contempt hearing was
scheduled due to disagreements over additional products
potentially covered by the judgment. The court’s decision
addressed admissibility of evidence regarding the trade secret
and its misappropriation, focusing on whether new products
were merely colorable imitations of those previously
adjudicated.
