Nyxoah Files Patent Infringement Lawsuit Against Inspire Medical Systems, Inc.
Mont–Saint–Guibert, Belgium – September 15, 2025, 10:10pm CET / 4:10pm ET – Nyxoah SA (Euronext Brussels/Nasdaq: NYXH) and Nyxoah, Inc. (collectively, “Nyxoah” or the “Company”), a medical technology company that develops breakthrough treatment alternatives for Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), today announced that it has filed a lawsuit against Inspire Medical Systems, Inc. (“Inspire”) alleging that the Inspire IV and Inspire V devices infringe the following three patents held by the Company; U.S. Patent Nos. 8,700,183, 9,415,215, and 9,415,216. The suit was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, seeking injunctive relief and damages for infringement.
“We will defend our intellectual property portfolio and the proprietary, minimally invasive Genio® system, which does not rely on traditional pacemaker hardware but is a differentiated solution offering bi–lateral stimulation, full body MRI compatibility and an upgradable technology platform that does not require re–surgery for battery replacements,” said Olivier Taelman, Chief Executive Officer. “At Nyxoah, we remain committed to putting patients first and offering physicians an alternative, trusting them to make the best decision for their patients suffering from OSA. We’re excited about the positive feedback we have received from both physicians and patients in the first month post–US commercial launch and look forward to introducing the Genio system to more physicians and OSA patients so they can choose the best solution for their needs.”
