ZOLL Lifecor Seeks Inter Partes Review of Eight Philips Electrotherapy Patents, Week of September 23, 2013

| September 30, 2013

Almost exactly a year ago, Koninklijke Philips N.V. and Philips Electronics North America Corp. sued. ZOLL Lifecor Corp for infringement of eight patents claiming various electrotherapy methods.  Last week, ZOLL retaliated by requesting inter partes review of each of those patents (see inter partes review Request Nos. (4) to (6), (9) to (10) & (12) to (14)).  Presumably, ZOLL will also seek a stay of the litigation, and the dispute will shift to the Patent Office.
