INTUITIVE SURGICAL OPERATIONS, INC., Before Dyk, Prost, and Reyna. Summary: Evidence of generic industry skepticism cannot, by itself, form the basis to preclude a finding of motivation to combine. Auris Health requested Inter Partes Review of a patent directed to a robotic surgery system with a servo-pulley mechanism that allows surgeons to remotely manipulate and quickly swap out surgical instruments using a controller, thereby reducing surgery time. Auris argued that the challenged claims were obvious over the combination of two patent publications called Smith and Faraz. Auris argued that a skilled artisan would have been motivated to combine Smith and Faraz to decrease the number of assistants needed for the surgery and robotize some tasks. The patent owner responded that a skilled artisan would not have been motivated to combine Smith and Faraz as the “surgeons were skeptical about performing robotic surgery in the first place.” The Board agreed that the combination of Smith and Faraz disclosed every limitation of the challenged claims. However, the Board concluded that a skilled artisan would not have been motivated to combine those references because of the general skepticism about using robotic systems during surgery at the time of the invention. Auris appealed. The Federal Circuit vacated and remanded the Board’s decision. The Federal Circuit held that, while specific evidence of skepticism in the industry related to a specific combination of references may be used in a motivation-to-combine analysis, evidence of generic industry skepticism alone cannot preclude a finding of motivation to combine. The Federal Circuit held that the Board “impermissibly” relied on the patent owner’s expert testimony on general skepticism for performing telesurgery in finding a lack of motivation to combine. The Federal Circuit therefore remanded for the Board to determine whether the evidence was sufficient to establish a motivation to combine. Judge Reyna dissented, arguing that the majority’s finding announces a new inflexible and rigid legal principle that it is “impermissible” to consider evidence of artisan’s skepticism towards a field in determining motivation to combine.

Medrobotics has developed a platform of flexible medical robots that enable surgeons to access, visualize, and perform two-handed surgery in hard-to-reach anatomical places through a single-site access. The core technology is a new generation of flexible robotic snakes with advanced vision systems that are able to navigate tortuous paths while providing accessory channels for a wide range of flexible surgical tools. The robots are self-supporting, which means they are able to support their own weight and move within any three-dimensional space without the need for any other structural support. The company was formerly known as Cardiorobotics and Innvoention Technologies.

CMR Surgical is a surgical robotics company developing universal robotic systems for minimal access surgery. The company's vision is to make minimal access (or keyhole) surgery universally accessible and affordable by significantly expanding the range of procedures that can be performed robotically.
Activ is a developer of software to augment surgeons. It develops an AI/ML platform called ActivEdge, which is designed to provide real-time intelligence and visualization to surgeons. The company was founded in 2017 and is based in Boston, Massachusetts.
