Myers, Boebel & MacLeod L.L.P. Announces Medical Device Patent Litigation Blog and Document Archive
Myers, Boebel & MacLeod L.L.P. announced the launch of the Medical Device Patent Litigation blog and document archive.
The blog, accessible at http://medicaldevicepatentlitigation.com, indexes significant patent and other intellectual property cases relating to medical devices and medical device manufacturers. A more complete document archive is available through http://scribd.com under the account MDPL_blog.
The blog and archive will track complaints and significant orders in medical device patent cases. The blog will also include features on certain litigation best practices and tips for pursuing intellectual property cases in both an effective and cost-effective manner.
On the formal announcement of the blog and archive, Aaron Myers, founding partner at Myers, Boebel & MacLeod L.L.P. stated, “Minneapolis has a large and dynamic medical device community, and our hope is that the blog and archive can act as a clearinghouse for litigation-related information. Since all of our attorneys have significant experience litigating intellectual property cases involving medical devices, we felt this was a good fit with our core competencies.”
Added Niall MacLeod, “Even though most information about litigation is technically available to the public, finding it quickly can be a challenge. Our view is that anything enhancing the transparency of the litigation process and getting this information into the medical device community will serve as a useful resource. In addition, we hope that blog and archive will help medical device companies avoid litigation where possible or, where necessary, pursue it according to best practices that keep costs low while pushing cases toward a successful resolution.”
Myers, Boebel & MacLeod L.L.P. is a Minneapolis law firm founded in 2006. The firm focuses on litigation for intellectual property and commercial disputes.
