The decision by the U.S. District Court in Memphis follows a federal jury’s ruling against Medtronic in November and the court’s denial last month of Medtronic’s motion for a new trial.

West Chester, Pa.-based Synthes asserted that Medtronic’s Maverick products infringed its patent on ProDisc-L, used to replace vertebral discs in the lumbar spine.
