STIPULATION DISMISSING CLAIMS AGAINST GUIDANT SALES CORPORATION WITH 

PREJUDICE

CASE NO. C-06-01066 (PJH) 

WASH_1672835.1 

 Pursuant to Rule 41(a)(1) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and Civil Local Rule 6-

1(a), Plaintiffs Medtronic Vascular, Inc., Medtronic USA, Inc., Medtronic, Inc., Medtronic 

Vascular Galway, Ltd. and Evysio Medical Devices ULC, by each of their respective 

undersigned attorneys, Abbott Laboratories, Abbott XYZ Corporation (a fictitious entity), and 

Advanced Cardiovascular Systems, Inc. (collectively “Abbott”), by their undersigned attorneys, 

and Guidant Sales Corporation (“GSC”) and Boston Scientific Corporation (“BSC”), by their 

undersigned attorneys, have all agreed and stipulate as follows: 

 1. GSC was dismissed as a defendant from this action without prejudice on June 2, 

2006 [Dkt. No. 63]. 

 2. All claims against GSC in Plaintiffs’ First Amended and Supplemental Complaint 

are now dismissed with prejudice. 

 3. Consistent with the Court’s June 2, 2006 Order, the dismissal with prejudice of 

GSC, while releasing GSC from any liabilities with respect to any direct or indirect infringement 

of the patents in suit, it does so only in recognition of the fact that Abbott has assumed and 

agreed to pay all such liabilities, if any, of GSC constituting direct or indirect infringement of the 

patents in suit, but only to the extent such liabilities are based on activities on or before April 21, 

2006 (i.e., the closing of the Boston Scientific Corporation-Guidant merger). 

 4. GSC and BSC represent and warrant that since April 21, 2006, GSC has not 

made, used, sold, offered for sale, or imported stents or catheters, including, but not limited to 

stents and catheters that are the subject of this suit. 

 5. Abbott, GSC and Boston Scientific Corporation acknowledge and agree that a 

dismissal with prejudice of GSC will not and does not release (a) any claim, demand, or liability, 

whether fixed or unfixed, known or unknown, asserted or unasserted, liquidated or unliquidated, 

or secured or unsecured, that the Plaintiffs have or may have against BSC, Guidant, or any 

affiliate (other than GSC) of BSC or Guidant, or (b) any claim, demand, or liability, whether 

fixed or unfixed, known or unknown, asserted or unasserted, liquidated or unliquidated, or
