Cordis Corp. and a co-defendant appealed a jury verdict awarding Spectralytics Inc. $22.5 million in a laser stent-cutting patent infringement suit.
Cordis and Norman Noble Inc. filed the appeal in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. Spectralytics had sued the pair in July 2005 in the U.S. District Court for Minnesota, alleging infringement of a patent for a “Laser Cutting Tool for Cutting Elongated Hollow Workpieces.”
