A Johnson & Johnson subsidiary sought to stop a manufacturer of spinal implants from violating its patents related to the technology. Fast action was needed. So the company turned to a Connecticut law firm that prides itself on getting results in federal courts across the country—Axinn, Veltrop & Harkrider.
The firm filed a lawsuit on behalf of the subsidiary, DePuy Synthes Products, against Globus Medical Inc. in 2011, seeking damages for three claimed patent infringements. Last year, Axinn Veltrop convinced a Delaware federal court jury to award its client $16 million; Globus has appealed the ruling.
