Highlights:

  • A three-judge panel of the Federal Circuit unanimously granted a motion to stay the enforcement of the trial court's judgement pending the appeal by the Group and Dr. Konstantino
  • The Group and Dr. Konstantino argued that a stay of enforcement was appropriate based on a four factor test that includes consideration of likelihood of success on the merits of the appeal

Ltd., collectively the "Group"), a global company engaged in the design, assembly and distribution of advanced therapeutic solutions for the minimally invasive treatment of vascular disease, is pleased to announce that a three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ("Federal Circuit") has unanimously granted the Group and Dr. Eitan Konstantino ("Defendants") a motion to stay the enforcement of the trial court's judgment (being damages of US$20.034 million awarded against the Defendants) ("Trial Court's Judgement") on the State Law Claims ("Order").
