GARP Research maintains a 'Buy' on Conceptus (NASDAQ: CPTS).

GARP analyst, Alastair Mackay, said, "The judge in the recently-concluded patent-infringement trial declined to enjoin Adiana sales. In his decision, he went on to invalidate the jury’s award of a 20% royalty on Adiana. Thus, Hologic’s (Nasdaq: HOLX) device will continue to compete with Essure. GARP remains convinced that technical advantages favor the adoption of Essure, mostly at the expense of tubal ligations."

"We continue to believe that CPTS is one of the most attractive names in health care. Hysteroscopic sterilization should continue to take share from tubal ligation, given the benefits of HS for patients, physicians, and payers."
