Share Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Email Print Allscripts is suing a telemedicine startup over its name, claiming that CarePortMD has infringed on a trademark it holds.

The health IT giant filed a lawsuit Thursday in the U.S. District Court in Delaware against CarePortMD claiming it has held a trademark registration for “CarePort” from the U.S Patent and Trademark Office since January 2013.

In 2016, Allscripts acquired CarePort Health, a software company that connects acute and post-acute providers and payers. The health technology announced this week that it plans to sell the CarePort Health care coordination business to WellSky for $1.3 billion.
