Boston Scientific Ordered to Pay $432 Million for Patent Infringement
Boston Scientific Corp. was ordered Monday to pay nearly $432 million in damages to a doctor who contends the medical device maker's top-selling drug-coated heart stents violate his 1997 patent. A Dickstein Shapiro attorney for Dr. Bruce Saffran called the jury award one of the largest ever in a U.S. patent infringement case. The trial began a week earlier in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, which is known for handling patent cases quickly, making it a popular venue for plaintiffs.
