McAndrews, Held & Malloy's medical device specialists comprise one of the most sought-after and respected patent litigation teams in the country. Possessing unmatched expertise in areas ranging from pacemakers and angioplasty catheters to contact lenses and medical imaging systems, our attorneys have successfully represented industry leaders in multi-million-dollar patent disputes.

Enforcing our clients' intellectual property rights, as well as protecting clients who have been unjustly accused of infringement, we have consistently achieved litigation success in jury trials, bench trials and ADR proceedings across the country. Examples of our successes include:




Obtaining a $166 million patent litigation award on behalf of one of the world's leading manufacturers of cardiovascular products - the third largest intellectual property damage award in 2002 and one of the top 10 largest in U.S. history.

Convincing the Federal Circuit to affirm summary judgment of noninfringement in a patent case involving agioplasty catheters and stents with sales in excess of $1 billion.

Securing $10 million in damages for one of the oldest state-supported universities on the Pacific Coast in a patent infringement action involving sonic oral care technology developed at the university.


In addition to our breath of knowledge in the medical device industry, our overall litigation experience enables us to provide clients with superior intellectual property procurement strategies, as well as other transactional legal services.
