Medtronic Inc. announced Friday that a Delaware jury ruled against the company in a patent infringement case with Guidant Corp. The jury found that Minneapolis-based Medtronic's S7 and Driver stents infringe on Indianapolis-based Guidant's Lau stent patents. Medtronic has a manufacturing plant in Fort Worth that employs 200 and makes powered surgical instruments. The Fort Worth plant does not make the stents at issue in the patent case.
