McDermott Files Counterclaim in Suit by Medical Device Maker

McDermott Will & Emery is countersuing medical device maker Nomir Medical Technologies in Boston federal court for breach of contract and nearly $491,000 in damages following the company's $143 million claim against the firm for missing patent deadlines. Nomir filed suit against McDermott on July 1, claiming the firm missed four crucial patent deadlines when it represented the company. McDermott says its legal work and costs for Nomir between 2004 and 2008 added up to more than $1.3 million.
