Imaging system and laproscope for imaging an object
Summary
USPTO granted patent US12593963B2 to Joshi Innovations GmbH for an imaging system and laproscope featuring dual focus-shifted sensors and multiple optical paths. The patent, filed November 11, 2021 as application 18253495, contains 14 claims covering the dual-sensor optical imaging technology for medical procedures.
What changed
USPTO granted patent US12593963B2 covering an imaging system with dual focus-shifted sensors operating along separate optical paths through a shared optical channel for laproscopic imaging. The patent provides Joshi Innovations GmbH exclusive intellectual property rights to the technology with CPC classifications in the A61B medical diagnostic imaging range. Medical device manufacturers developing dual-sensor or multi-path optical imaging systems for surgical applications should assess this patent portfolio to determine whether design-around modifications are needed or whether licensing from the assignee is appropriate to avoid potential infringement exposure.
What to do next
- Conduct freedom-to-operate analysis before developing similar dual-sensor imaging devices
- Review patent claims for potential licensing opportunities

Abstract
An imaging system (1) is provided, comprising: an optical channel (2) configured to transfer light, a first sensor (10) configured to generate first image data by imaging an object (3) along a first optical path (11), and a second sensor (20) configured to generate second image data by imaging the object (3) along a second optical path (21). The first sensor (10) and the second sensor (20) are focus shifted. Further, the first optical path (11) and the second optical path (21) are guided at least partly through the optical channel (3).
