Contact: Bill Bunker or Gerard von Hoffmann

We represent companies in all areas of the medical device industry. Our services in these areas include patentability searches and opinions, preparation, filing and prosecution of patent applications, infringement and validity searches and opinions, "design around" assistance, patent appeals, interferences, reexaminations and reissues, litigation and intellectual property components of investment diligence. Recently, the firm represented Masimo Corporation in a patent infringment case involving pulse oximeters. After trial and appeal, Masimo settled the case and received $330 million and future royalties. In addition, the firm represented another medical device company and obtained for that client a $64.5 million  judgment for wilful patent infringement. In 2006, that judgment was affirmed on appeal.
