Medical device maker Boston Scientific Corp. said Thursday it has filed suit against Conor Medsystems Ireland Ltd., alleging patent infringement. Boston Scientific said a Conor product infringes on a balloon catheter patent that it owns, and is asking for damages and for an injunction to prohibit Conor from making or stocking the product in Ireland. Conor officials couldn't immediately be reached for comment. Boston Scientific said it has successfully asserted a corollary patent against Johnson & Johnson in the Netherlands.
