Medtronic, Inc. v. Boston Scientific Corporation, No. 15-1996 (Fed. Cir. Apr. 4, 2017)

From the Opinion

The passage below is extracted verbatim from the opening of the document. It has not been editorially summarized — consult the full opinion for the court's complete reasoning.

Mirowski Family Ventures, LLC appeals a final deci- sion of the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, arguing that the district court erred by holding Mirowski Family Ventures liable for Medtronic, Inc.’s attorney fees pursuant to a contractual fee-shifting provi- sion. Mirowski Family Ventures argues in the alternative that, if it is liable for Medtronic’s attorney fees, then Boston Scientific Corpora tion and Guidant Corpo ration must also be liable for those fees.
