LOS ANGELES, Sept. 26, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Theragun LLC, the leader in percussive therapy, announced today that it has settled the lawsuits filed against Massage Guns and Alyne, claiming infringement of Theragun's various patents. Theragun initially filed the lawsuits in August in the state of California, seeking an injunction and damages to prevent the Defendants from selling any products infringing Theragun's patented technology, including the dampener and wedge attachments.
As part of the settlement, the Santa Monica-based company shared that it has reached a global licensing agreement with Massage Guns and Alyne, respectively, with each company providing an upfront payment and royalties for their use of Theragun's designs. Theragun has over 35 patents; Massage Gun's agreement licenses three Theragun patents and Alyne's licensing agreement licenses two patents.

"As the industry leader with over 35 patents, we will aggressively protect our intellectual property and not allow other companies to simply copy our designs.
