July 3 (Bloomberg) -- Fresenius Medical Care AG won a U.S.
appeals court ruling that will end a patent-infringement claim
brought against it by Baxter International Inc. over kidney
dialysis machines in 2003.
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office canceled the Baxter
patent after a review while the civil suit was still pending, so
there is no longer any basis for Baxter’s claim, the U.S. Court
of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington ruled
yesterday. The opinion was posted on the court’s website.
