Medit Corp. ("Medit"), a global provider of 3D scanning solutions, has 
successfully defended against four separate patent infringement actions filed 
in Germany by a Danish competitor, 3Shape A/S ("3Shape").  Over the past 3 
years, 3Shape has aggressively pursued patent infringement actions against 
Medit based on four patents (EP 2,568,870; EP 2,400,919; EP 2,732,434; EP 
3,401,876). However, all four patent lawsuits have now been concluded in 
Medit's favor by German courts. Moreover, 1 of the 4 patents were invalidated 
by German courts.

"We are delighted to find that the court confirmed these cases were without 
merit and also it was an attempt by the competitor to protect its preemptive 
position. We hope that this result helps discourage reckless legal disputes in 
the future. We see this as a victory for our customers and partners, and 
ultimately all those interested in digital dentistry. These rulings offer 
digital dentistry market a greater clarity and much needed security.  Medit 
will continue to bring the best technology for the benefit of our customers and 
the patients." <GB Ko, CEO>
