After a four-week trial in the U.S. District Court for the
District of Massachusetts in the matter of Insulet Corporation vs.
EOFlow et al., a jury verdict was returned in favor of Insulet on
December 3, 2024.
The jury found that EOFlow and several other defendants
misappropriated Insulet’s trade secrets. The jury awarded the
Company $170 million in compensatory damages from EOFlow and an
additional $282 million in exemplary damages from EOFlow for
willful and malicious misappropriation, for a total damages award
of $452 million. EOFlow’s ability to satisfy this damage award is

infringement," said Jim Hollingshead, Insulet President and Chief
Executive Officer. "We will not only enforce our patents, but also
zealously protect our valuable trade secrets, in which we’ve
invested heavily to improve the lives of people with diabetes."
