Executive Summary
Zoll Medical has ended a patent litigation suit with Alsius by agreeing to purchase all the assets related to the latter’s intravascular temperature management technology. For $12m in cash, Zoll (Chelmsford, Massachusetts) will gain the technology’s IP, other intangibles, inventories and fixed assets, thus ending the lawsuit it brought against its rival earlier this month (see Clinica No 1334, p 20).
