Hundreds of tissue regeneration medical devices seized for alleged patent infringement and potential health risks
These devices lacked essential medical certifications, representing a risk to public health and patient safety. This may result in adverse effects, allergic reactions and rejection of the treated tissues, among other possible health effects.
The main charges include Criminal Association (Art. 416) for being part of a stable organization to commit continuous crimes related to the counterfeiting and commercialization of medical devices; and Counterfeiting and Alteration of Industrial Patents (Arts. 473 and 517-ter), for imitating the patented Rigenera® technology for the regeneration of tissue such as hair or cartilage and being produced and commercialized without medical certifications.
With the decision to seize all allegedly counterfeit devices, the Court reinforces the position of Rigenera HBW and its official distributor, Regenera Activa, in defense of public health and technological innovation.
