BATESVILLE, Ind. – The United States Supreme Court ruled not to hear an appeal by Stryker against Hill-Rom this week.
In April 2011, the Batesville-based company filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for Southern Indiana against the competitor for alleged infringement of three patents covering remote bed-monitoring systems. The court ruled then in favor of Stryker.
A federal appeals court sided with Hill-Rom this June by reversing a decision in the lawsuit.
On Monday, federal judges decided not to hear Styker’s appeal and sent the case back to Indiana court.
