COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	NOTE 15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES We are involved in a number of proceedings, legal actions, and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. Such matters are subject to many uncertainties, and the outcomes of these matters are not within our control and may not be known for prolonged periods of time. In some actions, the claimants seek damages, as well as other relief, including injunctions prohibiting us from engaging in certain activities, which, if granted, could require significant expenditures and/or result in lost revenues. We record a liability in the condensed consolidated financial statements for these actions when a loss is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If the reasonable estimate of a probable loss is a range, and no amount in the range is a better estimate than any other, the minimum amount of the range is accrued. If a loss is reasonably possible, but not probable, and the amount can be reasonably estimated, the estimated loss or range of loss is disclosed. In most cases, significant judgment is required to estimate the amount and timing of a loss. While it is not possible to predict the outcome for most of the matters discussed, we believe it is possible that costs associated with them could have a material adverse impact on our consolidated earnings, financial position or cash flows. Moskowitz Family LLC Litigation On November 20, 2019, Moskowitz Family LLC filed suit against us in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas for patent infringement. Moskowitz, a non-practicing entity, alleges that Globus willfully infringes one or more claims of eight patents by making, using, offering for sale or selling the COALITION^®, COALITION MIS^®, COALITION AGX^®, CORBEL^TM, MONUMENT^®, MAGNIFY^®-S, HEDRON IA^TM, HEDRON IC^TM, INDEPENDENCE^®, INDEPENDENCE MIS^®, INDEPENDENCE MIS AGX^®, FORTIFY^®and XPAND^® families, SABLE^TM, RISE^®, RISE^® INTRALIF, RISE^®-L, ELSA^®, ELSA^® ATP, RASS, ALTERA^®, ARIEL^®, LATIS^®, CALIBER^® and CALIBER^®-L products. Moskowitz seeks an unspecified amount in damages and injunctive relief. On July 2, 2020, this suit was transferred from the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. The outcome of this litigation cannot be determined, nor can we estimate a range of potential loss, therefore, we have not recorded a liability related to this litigation as of September 30, 2021.
