STIPULATION AND (PROPOSED) ORDER REGARDING EFFECT OF THE CERTIFICATE OF 

CORRECTION FOR U.S. PATENT NO. 7,094,255 B2 IN THIS ACTION 

CASE NO. C-06-01066 (PJH) 

MILW_2151122.1 

Plaintiffs Medtronic Vascular, Inc., Medtronic USA, Inc., Medtronic, Inc., Medtronic 

Vascular Galway, Ltd., and Evysio Medical Devices ULC (collectively, “Plaintiffs”), by each of 

their respective undersigned attorneys, and Defendants Advanced Cardiovascular Systems, Inc., 

Abbott Laboratories, and Abbott XYZ Corporation (collectively, “Defendants”), by their 

undersigned attorneys, have all agreed and stipulate as follows: 

1. On October 10, 2006, a Certificate of Correction issued for U.S. Patent No. 

7,094,255 B2 (“the ‘255 patent”), entitled “Expandable Stent and Method for Delivery of Same.” 

2. A copy of this Certificate of Correction is attached hereto as Exhibit A. 

3. The statute dealing with certificates of correction provides that the corrections 

effected by such certificates are effective with respect to actions “for causes thereafter arising as 

if the patent had been originally issued in such corrected form.” 35 U.S.C. § 254 (emphasis 

added). 

4. For purposes of this action, the parties have stipulated, and the Court hereby 

orders, that (a) Plaintiffs’ claims of infringement with respect to the ‘255 patent shall be deemed 

to be causes arising after the October 10, 2006 issuance of the certificate of correction of that 

patent; and (b) the Certificate of Correction for the ‘255 patent is deemed effective in this action, 

as if it had issued before Plaintiffs first asserted any claim against Defendants for infringement of 

the ‘255 patent; provided, however, that: (c) Plaintiffs will not seek, and shall not be permitted to 

recover, damages for infringement of the ‘255 patent based on any alleged act occurring during 

the period between the original date of issuance of the ‘255 patent (August 22, 2006) and the 

date that the Certificate of Correction issued (October 10, 2006) and (d) Plaintiffs will not assert 

infringement of the ‘255 patent based on any alleged act occurring prior to October 10, 2006. 

5. By entering into this stipulation, Defendants are not acknowledging that the 

Certificate of Correction was properly obtained or issued. 

6. This stipulation further does not affect or limit Defendants’ right to challenge the
