Interference victory for inventors of electrosurgical scissors

Boston Scientific

Rydell (Everest Medical)

We provoked an interference for Boston Scientific against a patent owned by Everest Medical. We were able to prove that the Boston Scientific inventors were the true first inventors and the Board entered a judgment of priority of invention for Boston Scientific. The subject matter was electrosurgical scissors.
