… Jurors reached a 10-2 verdict after a 5-week trial. Intuitive Surgical owes no damages based on claims by the family that Intuitive had inadequately trained the doctor who performed the operation.

… The win may reduce the steam in the kettle of the pending class action suits about false claims by the company regarding their financial performance.
… In after hours trading, as news of the verdict came out, the stock (NASDAQ:ISRG) rose to $498, a 5% gain for the day and night.
… For further details, see the Bloomberg story,  watch the video from the local TV station and read the review by Everything-Robotic.
