Boston Scientific sues Conor Medsystems Ireland

By Elaine Rigoli

Tampa, Fla., May 4 - Boston Scientific Corp. has filed a lawsuit in Ireland against Conor Medsystems Ireland Ltd., alleging that the Conor CoStar Paclitaxel-Eluting Coronary Stent System infringes a balloon catheter patent owned by Boston Scientific.

Boston Scientific said it is asking for damages and an injunction to prohibit Conor from making, offering, putting on the market or stocking the product in Ireland.

The asserted patent is the Irish counterpart of the European patent that Boston Scientific has successfully asserted against Johnson & Johnson in the Netherlands, the company said.

Boston Scientific is a Natick, Mass.-based developer of medical devices whose products are used in a broad range of interventional medical specialties.
