Tom would you or anyone care to comment on this.
MTS manufactures a patented Gel Test which tests blood specimens to detect atypical antibodies which may affect transfusion or impact pregnancy, thus reducing medical errors. MTS along with Stiftung Fur Diagnostische Forschung, a not-for-profit foundation located in Switzerland, is continuing their patent infringement suit against U.S. based Immucor, Inc. (Nasdaq: BLUD) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Gamma Biologicals, Inc.
I've just started following Immucor and ran across this. How big of a issue is it and does anyone have a idea of when and how it will be settled.
Thanks

ReACT vs LISS-AGT
Big Guy,
Welcome!
IMHO - The patent infringement claim does not have merit as the MTS Gel and ReACT systems arrive at the same results utilizing entirely different methods.
Might I suggest that you visit the Yahoo! Immucor BLUD Club Due-Diligence Web Site and read the report titled ReACT vs LISS-AGT in the "Photos" section to gain some insight regarding each system and their specific methods used.
clubs.yahoo.com
The lawsuit is still in the discovery phase to my knowledge. It should be decided in the courts sometime this year. IMHO there is no patent infringement!
ReACT has not contributed greatly to Immucor's bottom line thus far. Their automated instrument family is selling very well in the blood bank industry as well as hospitals.
Again, welcome!
Best O'Luck,
Tom |

Wall Street Courting BLUD
It's evident that "The Street" is courting Immucor with the issuance of Sidoti's BUY rating. Three other suitors are waiting in the wings. These distinguished grooms are Interstate Johnson Lane, Olde Discount and Robinson Humphrey. Only time will tell if a full blown love affair develops and ends with a trip to the alter.
Here comes the bride...da...da...da-da.
Best O'Luck,

Thanks Tom,
I became a Blud brother Thursday when someone kindly sold me their shares for 11 5/8. Although were trading at the low end of the trading range the volume is light and I believe we won't be here for long. Hopefully this quarters numbers will be enough to get us though resistance in the fifteen area.
Take care
