Abbott agrees to settlement with Edwards lifesciences

The agreement will result in the dismissal of all pending cases or appeals in courts and patent offices worldwide, and includes a provision that the parties will not litigate patent disputes with each other in the field of transcatheter mitral and tricuspid repair and replacement products for the 10-year duration of the agreement. According to Abbott, the injunctions currently in place against the sale of Edwards’ transcatheter mitral and tricuspid repair system will be lifted.

In connection with this agreement, Abbott will receive a one-time payment and ongoing payments based on Pascal sales through 2025 as well as a potential sales milestone payment in 2026. –PRNewswire
