The lawsuit has been filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California on behalf of all those who purchased Nevro securities between January 8, 2018 and July 12, 2018 (the "Class Period"). The case, Oklahoma Police Pension and Retirement System v. Nevro Corporation et al., No. 18-cv-05181 was filed on August 23, 2018, and has been assigned to Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers.

The lawsuit focuses on whether the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by failing to disclose: (1) that Nevro had engaged in a fraudulent scheme by using protected confidential and proprietary trade secrets and stolen documents from its competitors to develop and enhance the Company's Senza I and Senza II systems; (2) that as a result, the Company's Senza I and Senza II systems were not "novel" or "proprietary;" (3) that these practices caued the Company to be vulnerable to increased litigation expenses and adverse legal and regulatory action; and (4) that, as a result, Nevro's U.S. sales growth was not sustainable.

Specifically, on April 27, 2018, Boston Scientific filed a complaint against Nevro, which alleged that the Company had engaged in patent infringement, theft of trade secrets, and tortious interference with contract.

On this news, the Company's stock price fell from $90.82 per share on April 27, 2018 to $89.36 per share on April 30, 2018-a $1.46 or 1.61% drop.

Then, on July 2, 2018, Morgan Stanley downgraded the Company to "Equal Weight," explaining that the Company was facing a "key risk" with its patent litigation and questioning its ongoing claims of "superiority."

On this news, the Company's stock price fell from $79.85 per share on June 29, 2018 to $73.23 per share on July 2, 2018-a $6.62 or 8.3% drop.

Then, on July 5, 2018, Judge Vincent Chhabria of the Northern District of California issued a tentative ruling on cross-motions for summary judgment in Nevro's own patent infringement action against Boston Scientific. Judge Chhabria's tentative ruling threatened to end Nevro's case by invalidating the lion's share of Nevro's patents.

On this news, the Company's stock price fell from $75.47 per share on July 9, 2018 to $64.04 per share on July 10, 2018-a $11.43 or 15.15% drop.

Then, on July 13, 2018, Nevro filed a Form 8-K with the SEC (News - Alert) announcing without explanation or warning, that the Company had "determined to terminate James Alecxih's, Vice President Worldwide Sales, employment with the Company."
