Boston Scientific said that it believes the finding of infringement is in error and that it will request the judge to overturn it.
No damages were determined because the judge found that Cordis failed to submit evidence sufficient to enable a jury to make a damage assessment. The jury also found invalid four Boston Scientific patents that were infringed by Cordis.
The patents in the case involve balloon catheter technology.
