A federal judge in Oklahoma awarded $10.3 million in damages and attorney fees Tuesday to a cardiologist whose patents for an angioplasty catheter were infringed. In May, a federal jury decided that Cordis, a division of Johnson & Johnson, infringed three patents held by Dr. Jan K. Voda and awarded him a 7.5 percent royalty. U.S. District Judge Tim Leonard decided that Cordis should pay an additional $8.1 million in damages and prejudgment interest and $2.2 million in attorney fees.
