Medtronic, electronic heart device maker is suing Abbott Laboratories and Boston Scientific Corp. alleging the companies of infringing a patent for a stent used in the treatment of blood vessels.
According to the complaint filed in US District Court in Marshall Texas, the lawsuit seeks unspecified damages and an order stopping the infringement. The patent covers a stent where a therapeutic drug or substance can be applied.
The lawsuit was filed just a day after Boston Scientific sued Medtronic alleging it infringed 10 patents related to grafts used to repair aneurysms.
In May, a federal jury ordered Boston Scientific to pay $250 million to Medtronic for infringing on its catheter patents. Boston Scientific is currently challenging the verdict.
