I think this is interesting.
Lately on TV I've seen ads for lawyers collecting money for medical injuries and death caused by IVC or Vena Cava blood clot filters. The Greenfield IVC was designed by the founder of Kimray working with Dr. Greenfield. In the 80's he sold the rights to all the medical stuff the company was involved in because he thought the legal liabilities were becoming stupidly expensive. Our company continued to manufacture the IVC filters. One of the tool and die makers made them. Even after the tool and die maker retired he continued making the IVC filters basically until he passed 10 years ago. Looked it up and the lawsuits are only for IVCs made AFTER that guy quit making them.
When we sold the rights to them our company was selling them for $75. Our Tool & Die guy made them for the new company for $25. They repackaged them in a nice satin lined wood box and sold them for $375.
