Howrey Loses $250 Million IP Verdict in East Texas

Posted on Friday 30 May 2008

On Wednesday, a federal jury in the Eastern District of Texas gave a big win to Sam Baxter of Dallas-based McKool Smith, awarding his client, Medtronic, $250 million in a patent infringement case against Boston Scientific, which was represented by Howrey. Boston Scientific's loss comes despite a trend toward defense wins in the historically plaintiffs-friendly Eastern District of Texas. In 2007, defendants won seven out of nine trials, but recently plaintiffs have been on the rebound.
