Boston Scientific Can't Shut Patent Assignor Out of His Share of Cordis Damages Payment: Third Circuit | Practical Law
On September 5, 2013, the US Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit reversed the district court's judgment in Jang v. Boston Scientific Scimed, Inc., holding the district court erred in ruling an inventor-patent-assignor's claims to a share of the settlement consideration received by its assignee, Boston Scientific, in a cash offset settlement barred as a matter of law. The Third Circuit remanded the matter for further proceedings.
