`PURSUANT TO 37 C.F.R. § 42.8
`
`
`
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 42.8, Patent Owner, Teleflex Medical Devices
`
`S.A.R.L.1 (“Teleflex”), submits the following mandatory notice information:
`
`1. Real Party-In-Interest
`
`Teleflex Medical Devices S.A.R.L. is the real party-in-interest. Teleflex
`
`
`
`
`Innovations S.A.R.L. merged into Teleflex Medical Devices S.A.R.L. Teleflex
`
`also identifies the following additional real parties in interest: Vascular Solutions
`
`LLC, Arrow International, Inc., and Teleflex LLC. Teleflex Incorporated is the
`
`ultimate parent of the entities listed above.
`
`2. Related Matters
`
`Patent RE45,776 (“’776 patent”) is the subject of litigation in two separate
`
`
`
`
`actions in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota: Vascular Solutions
`
`LLC, et al. v. Medtronic, Inc., et al., No. 19-cv-01760 (D. Minn., filed July 2,
`
`2019); and (ii) QXMedical, LLC v. Vascular Solutions, LLC, No. 17-cv-01969 (D.
`
`Minn., filed June 8, 2017).
`
`
`
`The ’776 patent is a reissue of U.S. Pat. No. 8,292,850 (“the ʼ850 patent).
`
`The ʼ850 patent was previously at issue (i) in the U.S. District Court for the
`
`
`1 Teleflex Innovations S.A.R.L. transferred to Teleflex Medical Devices S.A.R.L.
`all assets and rights, including all intellectual property rights. As a result, Teleflex
`Medical Devices S.A.R.L. is now the owner of U.S. Patent RE45,776. Teleflex is
`preparing and will soon record confirmatory assignment documents with the
`United States Patent & Trademark Office.
