STAYING DAMAGES

CASE NO. 06-01066-PJH (EMC) 

Plaintiffs and Counterclaim-Defendants, Medtronic Vascular, Inc., Medtronic 

USA, Inc., Medtronic, Inc., Medtronic Vascular Galway, Ltd., and evYsio Medical Devices ULC 

(“Plaintiffs”), and Defendants and Counterclaim-Plaintiffs, Abbott Cardiovascular Systems, Inc., 

Abbott Laboratories, and Abbott Vascular, Inc., and Counterclaim-Plaintiff Boston Scientific 

Corporation (“Defendants”) have agreed and stipulate as follows, subject to approval by the 

Court: 

1. Commencement of discovery directed solely to the issues of damages for 

patent infringement or the need for injunctive relief shall be stayed until thirty (30) days 

following any determination (whether by summary judgment, jury verdict, and/or Court order or 

decision), regardless of whether appealed, that any claim of either patent in suit is infringed and 

not invalid. This stay of discovery solely related to damages or the need for injunctive relief 

shall not limit discovery as to facts that are otherwise discoverable because they may relate to 

other issues (such as facts related to obviousness/non-obviousness), even though some or all of 

those facts may also be relevant to damage issues. 

2. In the event that liability is found, consideration by the Court of injunctive 

relief and jury trial of the damages issue shall take place at later dates and times to be set by the 

Court.
