[…] An amazing survey – it’s a MUST read 🙂 NEW PATENT: Methods For Rapid Assessment of Severity of a Trauma […]
That is – what we call – a good question 🙂 Surely there must be more than a slight frown in Alere's and Abbotts headquarters – in december their patent for measurement is revoked – and in january a complimentary patent is issued to BioPorto.
If I understand the issued patent correctly – then it not only covers injuries from war / natural disasters (as I believe was the original intention) but now all injuries originating from physical trauma (within 6 hours) – assuming this is correct then all use in emergency rooms should be covered per se.
When CCH (Alere/Abbott) to BioPorto to court – they had their own patent to build a case on – this is not the case anymore (at least not unless they appeal the annullment)
