Celgard sale triunfante en tribunal del Reino Unido y se le otorga requerimiento judicial contra importaciones de separadores de baterías de Senior mediante juicio

CHARLOTTE, Carolina del Norte, 6 de agosto de 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Después de la concesión del tribunal del Reino Unido de un requerimiento judicial interino el 7 de mayo de 2020 contra Shenzhen Senior Technology Material Co., Ltd. (Senior) como lo solicitó Celgard, LLC (Celgard), una subsidiaria de Polypore International, LP (Polypore), y la orden del tribunal del Reino Unido del 21 de mayo de 2020 continuando el efecto del requerimiento judicial interino, el tribunal del Reino Unido emitió un fallo el 30 de julio de 2020 que…

El fallo del tribunal a favor de Celgard no solo otorgó el requerimiento judicial contra Senior, sino que también mantuvo que Celgard había establecido como una cuestión grave para ser juzgada que Senior había usado sus secretos comerciales en el desarrollo y la fabricación de separadores de baterías y que Inglaterra era el foro apropiado para la disputa sobre la importación. Celgard tiene el propósito de llevar hasta las últimas consecuencias su caso sobre secreto comercial contra Senior.

El 30 de abril de 2020, Celgard presentó una solicitud para un requerimiento judicial urgente contra Senior en el Alto Tribunal de Justicia en Londres, Inglaterra. El 7 de mayo, a beneficio de una sola parte, el tribunal del Reino Unido otorgó un requerimiento judicial para evitar que Senior importe ciertos separadores de baterías al Reino Unido.

Antes, el 2 de marzo, Celgard interpuso una Demanda contra los Demandados Shenzhen Senior Technology Material Co. Ltd. (Senior-China), Shenzhen Senior Technology Material Co. Ltd. (EE.UU.) Research Institute (Senior-California), Xiaomin (Steven) Zhang, Sun Town Technology, Inc., Global Venture Development, LLC, y Global Venture Development, Inc. (colectivamente, Global Venture) (colectivamente, Demandados en el WDNC) en el Tribunal de Distrito de los EE.UU. por el Distrito Oeste de Carolina del Norte (WDNC) por apropiación indebida de secreto comercial, prácticas comerciales desleales y engañosas y competencia desleal, conspiración civil, enriquecimiento injusto y conversión.

Además, Celgard interpuso una Segunda Demanda Enmendada contra los Demandados, incluidos Shenzhen Senior Technology Material Co. Ltd. (EE.UU.), Research Institute (Senior-California) y otros (colectivamente, Demandados en el NDCA) por infracción de patente, incumplimiento de contrato e incumplimiento de convenio implícito de buena fe y trato equitativo en el Tribunal de Distrito de los EE.UU. por el Distrito Norte de California (NDCA).

La Demanda del WDNC alega que los Demandados en el WDNC, entre ellos un ex empleado de Celgard, Xiaomin (Steven) Zhang, ahora director de Tecnología de Senior-China, quien se cambió el nombre a Bin Wang a solicitud de Senior-China, se apropiaron a propósito e ilegalmente de secretos comerciales e información confidencial de Celgard y continúan haciéndolo. También se alegan otras infracciones de la ley.

La Segunda Demanda Enmendada del NDCA alega que los Demandados en el NDCA infringen la Patente Estadounidense Reemitida de Celgard RE47,520 (la patente ‘520), anteriormente la Patente Estadounidense 6,432,586 (la patente ‘586), y la Patente Estadounidense de Celgard No. 6,692,867 (la patente ‘867). Ver el Comunicado.

En diciembre de 2019, Celgard interpuso una Primera Demanda Enmendada en el NDCA, agregando a la demanda a los Demandados Farasis, Sun Town y Global Venture. Ver el Comunicado.

En septiembre de 2019, Celgard interpuso una demanda contra Senior, que vende separadores internacionalmente que fabrica en Shenzhen, China. La Demanda de Celgard alegó que Senior había infringido las patentes estadounidenses ‘520 y ‘867 de Celgard, y que se ha apropiado ilegalmente y ha hecho un mal uso de secretos comerciales e información confidencial de Celgard, entre otras infracciones, y busca compensación por daños y perjuicios. Ver el Comunicado.

En septiembre de 2019, Celgard resolvió exitosamente una demanda por infracción de patente contra Targray International. Ver el Comunicado. Celgard también resolvió exitosamente dos demandas en junio de 2019 contra MTI Corporation. Ver el Comunicado.

El fallo en el Reino Unido y el resultado exitoso de los casos contra Targray y MTI consolida aún más la integridad de la propiedad intelectual (PI) de Celgard sobre separadores con revestimiento y sin revestimiento para baterías de iones de litio. Celgard seguirá evitando la explotación injusta de su tecnología y su PI para proteger sus activos y a sus clientes.

Dietary cholesterol and phytosterols contribute directly to heart disease

REYKJAVIK, Iceland, Aug. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Scientists at deCODE genetics, a subsidiary of Amgen, and their collaborators from the Icelandic healthcare system, University of Iceland, the Copenhagen University Biobank and the Danish Blood Donor Study, recently published a study in European Heart Journal, with new findings that point to harmful effects of dietary cholesterol and…

It is well established that the «bad» cholesterol (also called non-HDL cholesterol and LDL cholesterol) directly affects the development of cardiovascular disease. Individuals who have high blood levels of bad cholesterol, or are at high risk of heart disease for other reasons, are generally advised to lower their cholesterol levels through lifestyle changes, and sometimes receive treatment with cholesterol-lowering drugs such as statins.

Blood levels of cholesterol are affected by both genetics and the environment, diet in particular, with the consumption of saturated fats, found primarily in red meat and high-fat dairy foods, increasing blood cholesterol. However, the importance of dietary cholesterol in the regulation of cholesterol levels in the blood and the risk of heart disease has been the subject of controversy for decades. Most foods that are rich in cholesterol are also high in saturated fats with some exceptions, including eggs and shellfish.

Phytosterols are cholesterol-like molecules found in small amount in all plant foods, including fruits, vegetables, nuts and legumes. Food enriched with high amounts of phytosterols, mainly margarine and dairy products, is commonly recommended as part of heart-healthy diet as it may decrease the absorption of dietary cholesterol.

The transporter proteins NPC1L1 and ABCG5/8 control the absorption of dietary cholesterol and phytosterols. NPC1L1 transports sterols from the intestinal lumen into enterocytes where ABCG5/8 excretes less than half of the cholesterol but most of the phytosterols back into the intestinal lumen. Thus, we generally absorb about 50-60% of the intestinal dietary cholesterol but only 5% of dietary phytosterols.

The authors studied the effects of sequence variants that modulate the function of the ABCG5/8 transporter on blood levels of cholesterol and phytosterols and the risk of coronary artery disease in large sample sets from Iceland, Denmark and the UK Biobank. The effects of the sequence variants were measured in up to 147 thousand patients with coronary artery disease and 922 thousand individuals without disease.

The study showed that individuals who harbor sequence variants that decrease the function of ABCG5/8 transporter have increased blood levels of both cholesterol and phytosterols and increased risk of heart disease. These results confirm that dietary cholesterol affects blood levels of cholesterol and risk of heart attacks. The results also demonstrate that people absorb variable amounts of the cholesterol they consume.

The study also showed that the effect of the ABCG5/8 variants, influencing both levels of cholesterol and phytosterol, on risk of heart disease, was greater than of other cholesterol variants that do not affect phytosterol levels. These results support the notion that phytosterols may contribute directly to atherogenesis, raising questions about the safety of supplementing food with phytosterols.

In the accompanying Editorial, Oliver Weingärtner states that «The study by Helgadottir et al. is not only the best study so far to support the hypothesis that variations at the ABCG5/ABCG8 locus is mechanistically involved in atherosclerotic heart disease, but it also lends a strong impetus to study the role of xenosterols in this process too.»

Based in Reykjavik, Iceland, deCODE is a global leader in analyzing and understanding the human genome. Using its unique expertise in human genetics combined with growing expertise in transcriptomics and population proteomics and vast amount of phenotypic data, deCODE has discovered risk factors for dozens of common diseases and provided key insights into their pathogenesis. The purpose of understanding the genetics of disease is to use that information to create new means of diagnosing, treating and preventing disease. deCODE is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Amgen (NASDAQ: AMGN).

Introducing EverTrue Premier: A New Service to Build and Manage Digital Gift Officer Programs to Retain Donors, Identify Millions in Potential Giving

BOSTON, Aug. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — EverTrue — the leading provider of data, software, and strategy for higher education advancement — is introducing EverTrue Premier, a new level of partnership for colleges and universities that want to increase donor retention and identify more major gift prospects.

Via this Premier level of service, EverTrue customizes software solutions and fundraising strategies for its partners, then works hand-in-hand with these institutions to build and…

Via this Premier level of service, EverTrue customizes software solutions and fundraising strategies for its partners, then works hand-in-hand with these institutions to build and manage teams of digital gift officers called Donor Experience Officers (DXOs). These fundraisers each oversee portfolios of 1,000 or more people, using EverTrue’s fresh data, modern technology, and customer-centric outreach strategies to provide one-on-one experiences to hundreds of donors each month.

Historically, higher education fundraising teams have delivered exceptional customer service and built strong relationships with the few top donors. At American colleges, just 2.8 percent* of alumni are assigned to a major gift officer who gives that person individual attention and works with them to manage their philanthropic interests.

But what about the other 97.2 percent of graduates?

Until now, the vast majority of alumni and donors received little individual attention. For decades, advancement teams have relied on print appeals and mass marketing efforts to engage, solicit, and steward these donors. This impersonal, one-size-fits-all approach has led to a 33 percent decline in alumni annual participation rates in the past 15 years.

As higher education faces a shrinking pool of regular donors, a recent survey conducted by EverTrue found that 70 percent of advancement professionals were «concerned» about building future major gift pipeline.

«Consumers expect buying experiences that are tailored to their interests and needs, whether they’re planning a trip, buying a car, shopping online, or streaming videos at home. Higher ed donors deserve the same personalized experience,» said Brent Grinna, Founder and CEO of EverTrue. «That’s why we’ve created EverTrue Premier in partnership with a dozen leading institutions. We want tens of thousands of donors to have a one-on-one relationship with their alma mater, receive concierge-level service, and know beyond a doubt that their giving makes a difference.»

The typical four-year university advancement team retains about 65 percent of donors annually. The Oregon State University Foundation team wanted to do better. OSU has thousands of donors who have given between $1,000–$5,000 annually, representing millions in revenue and more in potential lifetime giving. Yet this critical group of mid-level donors received little personal outreach from the institution.

Working in tandem with EverTrue, Oregon State launched its EverTrue Premier partnership in early 2020. It created a team of three DXOs who are coached by EverTrue’s expert fundraising program managers on how to handle large portfolios, engage donors regularly through cadence-driven outreach, create custom stories and experiences for supporters, deliver solicitations, identify new major gift prospects, and more.

In the first six months of their Premier partnership, Oregon State DXO’s interacted with nearly 2,000 donors in direct, personal ways including video conferences, email, social media messaging, and more. They retained donors in their portfolios at a rate that was 30 percent higher than OSU’s average retention and several of these constituents are now discussing major gift proposals with the university.

«We knew something needed to change if we wanted to build strong, personal relationships with these overlooked donors,» said Mark Koenig, Chief Innovation Officer and Vice President of Technology at the Oregon State University Foundation. «Through our partnership with EverTrue, we’ve seen our Donor Experience Officers do incredible work. They each interact with hundreds of people each month, identifying new major gift prospects and retaining donors during some pretty challenging times. They work fast and everything they do is designed around the donor’s interests. We believe this is a great model for the future of development work and has opportunities across our organization.»

With its Premier services, EverTrue partners with customers in three key areas to create and manage these DXO programs.

Prospect Identification
A Premier partnership starts with EverTrue identifying overlooked potential within the institution’s donor base with an emphasis on retaining and growing gifts from current, highly engaged, wealthy, mid-level donors. EverTrue’s proprietary approach to prospect identification leverages continually updated career and interest data, Facebook and event engagement, net worth insights, past giving, and more to create a pool of high-impact donors.

Modern Software
EverTrue gives these fundraisers customized software that makes it easy to manage large, 1,000-prospect portfolios and deliver tailored experiences to each person. EverTrue provides each DXO a suite of integrated tools including its own Relationship Management platform, SalesLoft, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, and video and email software, and teaches them the best ways to use technology to create exceptional donor experiences at scale.

Ongoing Management and Shared Goals
An EverTrue program manager with expertise in fundraising and sales delivers ongoing management and supervision of the DXOs. These supervisors guide strategy, provide day-to-day management, ensure the fundraisers hit their donor engagement and retention goals, implement new tools and tactics, and provide regular coaching and learning opportunities.

The launch of EverTrue Premier signals a seminal shift in higher ed fundraising. Thanks to this program, every college and university can offer a customized, one-on-one experience to thousands more alumni and supporters. EverTrue’s Premier partners will increase the retention of high-potential donors and acquire new major gifts by building stronger, more personal relationships with more alumni than ever before.

High-Value Emergency Care Reduces Total Health Costs for Medicare Beneficiaries, New Study Shows

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — As national health care spending rises, emergency care stands out for its role in helping patients avoid costly care in other parts of the hospital. New research in JAMA Network Open underscores the value of emergency care and finds that the total cost of care for Medicare beneficiaries treated in an emergency department (ED) declined over a six-year period.

…

«Too often discussions of the cost of emergency care fail to consider the bigger picture—that spending on emergency care can save lives, alleviate suffering and in some instances avoid the need for a more expensive hospitalization,» said Laura Burke, MD, MPH, FACEP, emergency physician at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and lead study author. «Emergency physicians treat anyone, anytime and serve as the safety net for the nation’s acute care system. Our research suggests that outcomes improved for Medicare patients using the ED, and that emergency physicians are finding ways to safely send patients home by providing care that is patient-centered and cost-saving.»

The study, «Trends in Costs of Care for Medicare Beneficiaries Treated in the Emergency Department 2011-2016,» finds that despite an overall rise in health care spending between 2011 and 2016, the total 30-day costs of emergency care declined by 8 percent. During that period, the mortality rates of Medicare beneficiaries visiting the ED improved and hospital admissions directly from the ED declined indicating that the cost savings to the broader system is not coming at the expense of quality patient care.

Outpatient ED visits are often portrayed as a failure of the primary care system to manage acute and chronic disease, but these findings reflect the success of the ED in avoiding more costly hospitalizations and contributing to lower Medicare spending. Emergency physicians can rapidly perform a comprehensive range of tests and procedures, which differentiates their capabilities from primary care or urgent care and often means that patients can be treated then sent home to recover. And, observational care in the emergency department provides an additional value as patients can be expertly monitored without being admitted to the hospital.

The findings of the study are particularly salient as the rise in ED utilization and the increasing intensity of care has caught the attention of policymaker and clinical leaders alike. The study examined more than 14 million emergency visits by Medicare beneficiaries between 2011 to 2016 at 4,730 emergency departments. «Total cost of care» includes the initial and subsequent emergency visits and physician costs, observation care, outpatient care outside the emergency department, and post-acute care.

This research was funded by a grant through the Emergency Medicine Foundation, a nonprofit organization created by the American College of Emergency Physicians to support emergency medical research and education.

«Patients are visiting emergency departments with more severe illness and more complex chronic conditions while the quality, efficiency and value of emergency care continues to improve,» said David E. Wilcox, MD, FACEP, Chair of the Emergency Medicine Foundation Board of Trustees. «Emergency physicians are consistently and persistently enhancing the quality of care, improving patient outcomes, and providing better value to the broader health care system.»

The Emergency Medicine Foundation (EMF) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1972 by visionary leaders of the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP). EMF supports scientifically rigorous research and education that improves the care of the acutely ill and injured. To date, EMF has awarded more than $17 million in research grants to advance emergency medicine science and health policy. For more information visit http://www.emfoundation.org.

The American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) is the national medical society representing emergency medicine. Through continuing education, research, public education and advocacy, ACEP advances emergency care on behalf of its 40,000 emergency physician members, and the more than 150 million Americans they treat on an annual basis. For more information, visit www.acep.org and www.emergencyphysicians.org.

Incredible Edibles Announces the Launch of its First National Retail Store Led by Incredible Female Entrepreneurs

HICKORY, N.C., Aug. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Incredible Edibles is pleased to announce its first retail store in Hickory, North Carolina. The store celebrated its soft opening this past March just before the onset of COVID-19, and now its female ownership team made up of local entrepreneurs Heather Joyner and Fran Paradine are taking advantage of their opportunity to deliver healthy products to their community via the new store located at 883 Highland Ave SE, Hickory, NC 28602.

Joyner and Paradine are long-time Hickory residents who bring to this inaugural location exceptional retail management and authentic health and wellness experience. Under their ownership, Incredible Edibles – Hickory features all-natural, healthy and tasty food items that deliver nutritional value and benefits. Included in the store’s vast offerings are Frozen Yogurt and Healthy Treats, as well as a high-quality, diverse and fully traceable assortment of CBD, including CBD oils, topicals, edibles, pet products and more.

«We are thrilled to have Heather and Fran join the Incredible Edibles family,» said Bill Sluben, Senior Director of Incredible Edibles. «Heather is respected throughout the restaurant industry due to successfully owning and operating multiple McDonald’s units in the region. Fran is a seasoned and successful owner and operator in her own right, having opened and run a di’lishi frozen yogurt concept for several years in Hickory.»

With Incredible Edibles’ roots traced back to the entrepreneurial success of Tariq Farid, who borrowed money to open a single flower shop and built it into the $500 million business, supporting aspiring entrepreneurs like Joyner and Paradine is a value the business was built on. Having these two owners leading the first Incredible Edibles retail location is especially noteworthy as there is a lack of access and parity for women entrepreneurs in the CBD industry, with a leading industry publication reporting in 2019 that women only account for about one-third of all cannabis industry executives.

Each brings Incredible talents and are proponents of the health benefits of CBD as an alternative treatment to anxiety, chronic pain and sleep deprivation.

«As someone who is interested in fitness and healthy eating, it is important to me that what we are providing to residents of Hickory through our Incredible Edibles store can make a positive impact on people’s health and well-being,» said Paradine. «As a company, we work to ensure that every item in the store has some nutritional benefit – from the probiotic-rich frozen yogurt, to the third-party tested CBD products, to the freshest fruit used in the fruit arrangements.»

In light of health concerns surrounding COVID-19 and to improve community access to health and wellness solutions during this pandemic, Incredible Edibles – Hickory features abundant consumer education and consultative assistance, online ordering, curbside and contactless pickup, home delivery and a unique, one-stop health and wellness shopping experience.

For more about the Incredible Edibles store now open in Hickory, visit Incredibleedibles.com, or call 828-578-6083.

About Incredible Edibles

Incredible Edibles is focused on the benefits of natural health and wellness and traces its’ roots back to the entrepreneurial success of Tariq Farid, who borrowed money to open a single flower shop and built it into the $500 million business. Incredible Edibles believes in offering the best tasting, highest quality and fully traceable Hemp CBD, Superfoods (and soon to be low-THC) consumable products. Their roots and commitment run deep: from planting over 20 acres of hemp seeds in Connecticut (in partnership with the Connecticut Hemp Research Pilot Program) in 2019, to leveraging over two decades of food innovation at Edible Brands, Incredible Edibles will meet the growing consumer demand for Hemp CBD, Superfoods and low-THC exceptional products.

Blue Shield of California and Cricket Health Collaborate to Transform Kidney Care for Members

OAKLAND, Calif., Aug. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Blue Shield of California and Cricket Health today announced a new innovative, personalized and comprehensive care coordination program for members who have late-stage chronic kidney disease or end-stage renal disease at no additional cost to them.

OAKLAND, Calif., Aug. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Blue Shield of California and Cricket Health today announced a new innovative, personalized and comprehensive care coordination program for members who have late-stage chronic kidney disease or end-stage renal disease at no additional cost to them.

Through the long-term collaboration, Cricket Health will offer a multidisciplinary care team that includes nurses, pharmacists, social workers, dieticians and trained patient mentors to provide an evidence-based approach to help patients better manage chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease.

The team, available online and by phone, works closely with the participating member’s medical providers including primary care physicians, nephrologists and other specialists to ensure that, as much as possible, the patient remains healthy, at home, and out of the hospital. The program is especially relevant in today’s Covid-19 environment, and is available to members enrolled in Blue Shield’s fully insured Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) benefit plans.

«We recognize that for too long, the healthcare system in the U.S. has fallen short of providing patients who suffer from kidney disease – an estimated 37 million Americans – with the highest quality health care at an affordable cost,» said Seth Glickman, M.D., chief health officer, Blue Shield of California. «By working with Cricket Health, we can reimagine kidney care and expand health care options for members with late-stage chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease so they can live the healthiest lives possible.»

Blue Shield’s claims data and Cricket’s advanced data analytics capabilities are used to identify members with or at risk for chronic kidney disease, and Cricket invites them to participate in the program. Once enrolled, Cricket Health will deploy a multidisciplinary care team and virtual programs with the goal of slowing progression of the disease, reducing health complications, and avoiding emergency room visits or hospitalizations.

By intervening well before kidney failure, Cricket Health can deliver an evidence-based, personalized kidney care plan for each patient that improves health outcomes. For members whose kidney disease does progress, Cricket Health will help them understand their treatment options — such as in-center dialysis or transplant — and empower them to make their preferred choice.

«This collaboration will fundamentally change what a kidney disease diagnosis means for patients, putting them in control of their kidney-care journey,» said Arvind Rajan, CEO, Cricket Health. «Our comprehensive approach to chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease care focuses on preventive care, slowing progression of the disease, and when needed, getting the treatment that’s right for them. Together with Blue Shield, we will support their members with a multidisciplinary care team that reaches patients in the safety and comfort of their homes.»

This offering comes at a critical time, as those living with chronic kidney disease or end-stage renal disease have an elevated risk of complications from Covid-19. By offering remote care, via phone or virtually online, Cricket Health’s approach to kidney care is designed to keep Blue Shield members living with kidney disease healthy at home, and out of clinics or hospitals whenever possible.

This innovative kidney care is the latest example of Blue Shield of California’s Health Reimagined initiative to transform the healthcare system for individuals, families and communities, and also address health inequities often found among minority communities. Kidney disease impacts communities of color disproportionately and Blue Shield’s collaboration with Cricket Health seeks to expand access to quality kidney care.
