MARSHALL (AP) — A federal jury in Texas has ordered Johnson & Johnson and a subsidiary to pay $482 million to an inventor who claimed the company infringed on his patent for a cardiac stent. Jurors found that a stent built and distributed by Cordis willfully infringed on plaintiff Dr. Bruce Saffran’s patent.
