MAKO Surgical Corp. (Nasdaq: MAKO) has obtained an Order Granting Permanent Injunction enjoining Blue Belt Technologies, Inc. from engaging a former MAKO employee and requiring the destruction of all proprietary MAKO business information in Blue Belt's possession.

By court order dated April 4, 2013, Mr. Gellman is prohibited from working for Blue Belt in any capacity until August 2013, and may only work in a limited capacity thereafter until 2014. Furthermore, both Blue Belt and Mr. Gellman have been ordered to certify under penalty of perjury that all MAKO proprietary information in their possession has been permanently purged. The U.S. District Court retained jurisdiction of the matter to ensure compliance with its order.
