A federal judge overseeing protracted litigation in a lawsuit brought by Abbott Laboratories over intellectual property and anticounterfeiting of diabetes test strips has agreed to freeze protection trusts held by defendants that were allegedly used to dodge paying a $33 million judgment.
Plaintiff Illinois-based Abbott Laboratories sued hundreds of defendants in October 2015, including H&H Wholesale Services, Howard Goldman and Lori Goldman, alleging trademark infringement for unlawfully diverting the company’s international version of the pharma company’s glucose test strips to sell them through unauthorized vendors.
