Theragun, a specialist in percussive massage therapy, has filed separate patent infringement lawsuits in the state of California against manufacturers and sellers of massage devices. The lawsuit was filed against Hyperice, Massage Guns and Alyne for allegedly violating Theragun’s various patents.
The lawsuit seeks damages and an injunction to prevent the defendants from selling any products infringing Theragun’s patented technology.
Officially launched to market in 2016, Theragun from its inception has introduced products in the emerging percussive massage space, launching five products and nine attachments. Theragun noted that it created the new product category over 10 years ago, and remains the industry leader and lead innovator, investing extensively in research and product development.
The Theragun G3PRO is Theragun’s award-winning flagship device, and is endorsed by a number of physical therapists, athletic trainers, professional sports teams, and sports medicine experts worldwide.
“We have invested a significant amount of money in research and development to advance our leading percussive therapy devices and attachments,” said Benjamin Nazarian, CEO of Theragun.
“We work with some of the best mechanical engineers and sound engineers from MIT to develop our proprietary technology and designs. As the industry leader with over 35 patents, Theragun has always invested in cutting edge technology backed by science and medicine to improve how we treat our bodies.
“Our patents help protect our technological and scientific advancements and we will not let other companies simply copy our products. We will vigorously defend our intellectual property rights in court.”
