Summary
PointClickCare has launched a lawsuit against CRISP and its affiliates, claiming patent infringement and unfair competition regarding Event Notification Services (ENS), a platform for real-time patient notifications. This legal action is rooted in a previously collaborative relationship on health technology that ended around 2013, when Audacious Inquiry acquired the related intellectual property from CRISP. The dispute highlights ongoing tensions in health technology commercialization and raises critical questions about intellectual property rights in the rapidly evolving digital health landscape. For healthcare professionals, the outcome could impact access to essential notification services that facilitate timely patient care.
