Interference decision reversed in favor of Phillips’s defibrillator patent
Koninklijke Philips Electronics
Cardiac Science Operating Co.
The U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington ruled in favor of Finnegan client Philips following a trial in Koninklijke Philips Electronics v. Cardiac Science Operating Co. The Court found that Cardiac Science’s patent application did not support the claims copied from Philips’s defibrillator patent and reversed the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office's decision against Philips in an interference.
