The Federal Circuit heard oral argument in Medtronic Navigation, Inc. v. BrainLAB Medizinische Computersystems GMBH yesterday. You will recall that last year Judge Matsch, a U.S. district court judge for the District of Colorado, sanctioned Medtronic and its law firm $4.4M for BrainLAB’s attorneys’ fees and costs stemming from conduct during a patent jury trial.

You might also recall Judge Matsch’s name as he presided over the trial and sentencing of Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh.
