Get a free legal review of your case.

On January 31 2008, a U.S. patent appeals court ruled in favor of TriMed Inc. in a suit which accused Stryker Corp. of infringing its patent for an implantable device to be used for broken bones and joints, according to Reuters.

TriMed had accused Stryker, one of the biggest makers of artificial hips and knees, of selling a device for wrist fractures that infringed TriMed's patent for an implantable device that would attach to stable portions of broken bones and hold the fractured portions in place.

The lawyers in our Defective Drugs and Medical Devices unit are now reviewing cases involving Stryker hip implants. The Unit is uniquely qualified to handle such litigation, having won numerous cases involving dangerous pharmaceuticals and medical devices, including Vioxx, achieving a $13.5 million verdict against Merck & Co. The firm’s other active pharmaceutical litigations include actions against the manufacturers of Bextra, ReNu, Celebrex, Ortho Evra, Gadolinium dye and Medtronic's Sprint Fidelis Leads.
