The lawsuits allege that CryoCath’s products infringe several patents related to CryoCor’s Cardiac Cryoablation System. CryoCor is an exclusive licensee of the patents, and is seeking monetary damages and injunctions in the US and Canada to prohibit further infringement.
Ed Brennan, president and CEO of CryoCor, said: “We believe that our exclusive license to these patents gives us broad coverage over key technologies that are critical in the field of cryoablation for cardiovascular applications. We have filed this lawsuit against CryoCath to enforce our intellectual property rights related to this critical segment of healthcare.”
