Saffran v. Boston Scientific

By Troll Tracker

Dr. Bruce Saffran sued Boston Scientific Corp. in December 2005 on U.S. Patent 5,653,760 ("Method and Apparatus for Managing Macromolecular Distribution"). Dickstein Shapiro (DC) filed the complaint, along with Eric Albritton. Kenyon & Kenyon appeared for Boston Scientific, along with Melvin Wilcox and Melissa Smith. The plaintiff is a doctor from Princeton, New Jersey. The defendant is a company based in Massachusetts. The trial? Marshall.

Opening arguments and jury selection were last Monday, February 4. Eric Albritton did both for Dr. Saffran. Kenyon chose to use its own attorneys for opening and voir dire. Wonder if they pronounced it the right way - the Texas way (Vwahr Dye-er). Closing arguments were yesterday morning. Michael Smith said he will have the scoop when the jury reaches a verdict - but there is no word yet. When there is, I'll provide a link.
