Heart valve maker Edwards Lifesciences Corp. said Thursday it filed a patent infringement lawsuit in Germany against CoreValve Inc. The lawsuit seeks relief for alleged infringement of a patent used in Edwards' transcatheter heart valve technology. Edwards said the patent is co-owned by Dr. Henning Rud Andersen of Aarhus, Denmark, and his colleagues, who licensed it in 1993 to Heartport Inc., now a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson.
