Mizuho accuses Allen Medical and Hill-Rom, Inc. of infringing U.S. Patent No. 10,888,48, which covers certain adjustable surgical tables. Mizuho says that the Allen® Advance Table, marketed and sold by the defendants, infringes at least one claim of the patent because it offers radiolucency throughout the working length of the table, rotates through 360 degrees, and includes a number of safety features called out in the claim. Mizuho also accuses the Advance Table Pinless H-Bracket that is designed for use with the Allen table. The case is before Judge Gorton.
