A federal jury in Grand Rapids, Mich., found the Zimmer willfully infringed on patents for devices that use pulsing liquid to clean bones during joint replacement surgery, according to the report.

Stryker’s claim called out the Zimmer Pulsavac products, which made $386 million in sales last year.

Zimmer plans to appeal the verdict.
