During Tuesday’s Current trade, Shares of Align Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:ALGN), lost -0.01% to $60.97.
Align Technology, Inc. (ALGN) a dental-equipment maker, slid the most in more than four months after the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office rejected one of its patents for clear orthodontic braces and agreed to re-examine two others.
The shares fell 3.1 percent to $62.29 at the New York close, their biggest decline since January.
ClearCorrect LLC, one of Align’s competitors, said in a statement Wednesday that the patents were too similar to existing treatments, and it had asked the patent office to revisit them. It challenged four of Align’s patents in total and said it anticipates the patent office to re-examine the fourth as well. ClearCorrect had formerly been found to be infringing the same patents in a May 2013 International Trade Commission ruling. Of Align’s $198.1 million in first-quarter revenue, about 94 percent came from clear aligners, which straighten teeth with hard-to-see retainers instead of metal braces. The company has more than 350 patents in its portfolio, so it’s difficult to say whether losing just one is significant, Goldman Sachs analyst Robert Jones said in a note. Yet it could lead to concerns that its other patents aren’t stable.
Align Technology, Inc. designs, manufactures, and markets a system of clear aligner therapy, intra-oral scanners, and computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) services for use in dentistry, orthodontics, and dental records storage in the United States and internationally.
