Medtronic faces potential injunction in Applied Medical case
Applied Medical Resources filed for a permanent injunction against Medtronic, seeking resolution of its federal antitrust case. It alleges Medtronic sold ABD and LigaSure below cost and bundled them to restrict Applied from selling its Voyant devices. Medtronic says it disagrees with the verdict and will appeal to the Ninth Circuit after final judgment. The motion also argues Medtronic’s laches defense fails and requests findings of unlawful and unfair conduct, following a $382 million damages award.
