Executive Summary
Developer of minimally-invasive medical technologies Diomed has been granted a permanent injunction against AngioDynamics and Vascular Solutions in a patent infringement case over the endovenous laser ablation treatment of varicose veins. The ruling, passed by Judge Nathaniel Gorton of the US federal district court of Massachusetts, prevents the latter two companies from promoting, marketing and selling their respective VenaCure and Vari-Lase bare-tipped laser fibres and any other related products that are "mere colourable variations".
