The judge presiding over a lawsuit against FARO Technologies Inc. has withdrawn a summary ruling that the company’s use of infinite rotation technology in several of its products infringes on a patent held by ROMER CimCore Corp.

The development reverses a ruling made in August, in which a judge agreed with ROMER’s claim that FARO illegally uses ROMER’s patented infinite rotation technology in its FaroArm articulated inspection device. Also in dispute is FARO’s alleged use of ROMER’s patented technology in its FARO Gage and FARO Gage Plus. The technology allows the CMM’s three joints to swivel endlessly without encountering a stopping point or needing to be rewound.

“The court’s reconsideration is a vindication of our opinion that the prior decision was in error,” says Simon Raab, FARO chairman and CEO.

Hexagon Metrology, which owns ROMER CimCore, noted that the judgment doesn’t end the case. There will be another summary judgment hearing on Nov. 7, and the jury trial is scheduled to begin on Jan. 31.
