Advanced Medical Optics (AMO) filed a patent lawsuit against Alcon Inc. concerning Alcon's INFINITI vision system and the ADVANTEC and EVEREST software upgrades for the LEGACY surgical system. As well, Alcon filed a suit against AMO concerning AMO's SOVEREIGN, SOVEREIGN Compact and PRESTIGE surgical systems. Alcon has agreed to pay AMO $121 million to settle patent disputes.
