I assume you are referring to the Resmed action referred to below in the Company's first press release, unfortunately you aren't going to get such a definitive answer to your question at this very early stage, clearly this decision has not been taken lightly by the management and directors... they have evaluated the absolute need to protect the Companies patent rights against the cost of investing in legal action.


FISHER & PAYKEL HEALTHCARE FILE PATENT INFRINGEMENT PROCEEDINGS AGAINST RESMED
Auckland, New Zealand, 16 August 2016 - Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Corporation Limited announced today that it has filed patent infringement proceedings in the US District Court for the Central District of California seeking judgment that ResMed Inc’s AirSense 10 and AirCurve 10 range of flow generator products, ClimateLineAir heated air tubing for use with such flow generator products and Swift LT and Swift FX masks infringe patents held by Fisher & Paykel Healthcare.
The company alleges that certain of ResMed’s continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) devices and accessories used in the treatment of patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and certain of ResMed’s masks infringe on Fisher & Paykel Healthcare patents. Fisher & Paykel Healthcare is seeking all available remedies, including damages and injunctive relief.
Lewis Gradon, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, said “Fisher & Paykel Healthcare has invested substantial resources in the research and development of its technologies over the past 45 years. The company has protected that investment through the development of a significant portfolio of more than 1,400 issued and pending patents, and takes infringement of its intellectual property rights very seriously.”
