Axonics, Inc. (Nasdaq: AXNX) has prevailed in a patent infringement lawsuit brought by Medtronic in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. The jury unanimously found that Axonics does not infringe any of the three patents-in-suit.

Axonics remains focused on its mission to positively impact the lives of adults with bladder and bowel dysfunction.
