Royal Philips Electronics NV, which gets more than a third of its revenue from medical systems, sued Zoll Medical Corp., claiming it’s infringing patents related to devices used to restart hearts.

Philips contends that external defibrillators made by Chelmsford, Massachusetts-based Zoll are infringing six patents. It is seeking cash compensation and an order that would block further use of its inventions, according to the complaint filed Jan. 5 in federal court in Seattle.
