BDX & Louis A. Hoch Jt. Patent Protection
BDX & "LA" Hoch share a patent, covering needles & needle devices.
Used needles during a world-wide pandemic, will have to be destroyed, or they'll end-up in Oceans !
Louis A. Hoch, CEO of USIO, created "Appointment Guardian," that's currently in-active. A (n) AG is needed to help coordinate the disposal of HazMat material, during the world-wide spread of COVID-19.
It would behoove BDX & USIO to get involved with the "safe" disposal of COVID-19 hazardous material. USIO works "smack-dab" in the middle where billing, payments, records, record keeping and security cross-paths.
BDX & Healthcare HazMat Team fUSIOn needed. Train loads of used needles and other materials must be disposed of properly. For this and other reasons I alerted on BDX & USIO stock.

Becton Sued For Squeezing Out Rivals With Safer Syringes (7/17/15)
By Kelly Knaub
Law360, New York (July 17, 2015, 7:57 PM ET) -- Southeast Georgia Health System hit Becton Dickinson and Co. with a putative class action in Georgia federal court Friday, accusing the medical technology company of pushing competitors making safer needles out of the hypodermic syringes market.
The hospital alleges that despite federal law mandating practices to reduce dangerous needlestick injuries from conventional syringes since 2001 — injuries nurses experience more than 600,000 times annually, the suit says — New Jersey-based BD has slowly made only minor and ineffective changes to its conventional syringes, failing to reduce needlesticks and in some cases dramatically increasing them.
Southeast Georgia says that instead of competing and improving upon the technology put forth by Retractable Technologies Inc., which sells patented syringes that reduce needlesticks to a minimum and have been given the highest safety rating by a prominent testing laboratory, BD has suppressed competition and maintained its monopoly through a variety of schemes.
“Rather than compete, and meet and improve upon Retractable’s innovation on the merits using its vast resources to protect the national health, Becton has taken the low road of the repetitive antitrust scofflaw,” the hospital says.
BD is suppressing competition through, for example, exclusionary bundled rebates that foreclose acute care providers from effective competitive access to safer syringes; penalty contracts and sole-source contracts that achieve the same end; theft of Retractable’s innovative technology to use it against Retractable and greatly impede its market entry; six years of competitive deception and false advertising; and the elimination of a significant safety rival by acquisition, according to the suit.
BD is also using many of the same schemes to obtain and maintain a monopoly in the market for the sale of IV catheters to acute care providers, the complaint claims.
Southeast Georgia’s complaint brings one count of syringe monopolization and one count of IV catheter monopolization, both brought under Section 2 of the Sherman Act.
The hospital said it seeks to represent proposed classes of thousands of acute care providers purchasing syringes and IV catheters under cost-plus distribution contracts.
In August 2013, BD struck a $22 million settlement with hospitals and pharmacies whose class actions accused the company of stifling competition from other hypodermic product makers.
And earlier this year, Retractable claimed it deserved $5.65 million in prejudgment interest in a false advertising and antitrust suit it brought against BD — on top of the $340 million it won — but a Texas federal judge instead granted BD’s bid to vacate the prejudgment interest.
A BD representative did not immediately return a request for comment.
Southeast Georgia is represented by Wallace E. Harrell and Mark D. Johnson of Gilbert Harrell Sumerford & Martin PC and R. Stephen Berry of Berry Law PLLC.
Counsel information for Becton Dickinson was not immediately available.
The case is Glynn-Brunswick Hospital Authority et al. v. Becton Dickinson and Co., case number 2:15-cv-00091, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Georgia.

Court of Appeals Order – Retractable Technologies, Inc., et al., v. Becton, Dickinson and Co (2/05/15)
LITTLE ELM, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Retractable Technologies, Inc. (NYSE MKT: RVP) (“RTI”) announced today that on February 3, 2015 the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit issued an order which denied Becton, Dickinson and Co.’s (“BD”) motion for stay of injunction pending appeal.

BD had requested a stay of the injunction pending appeal. The Fifth Circuit opinion did not expand on its reasoning for denying BD’s motion.

You can't argue with stocks which make historic highs all the time. Several pharma company stocks have recently been in the habit of doing so. BDX is also doing very well for investors, and has delivered good returns over past several years. The stock appreciated 32% during the last year, and is only ~6% below its all time high of ~$102 made recently. The dividend history of the stock is also great, with a good 2% yield over the past 5 years at a reasonable 25% payout. Fundamentally, the revenue growth has been very good over the past few years. The net income, however, has remained static and shown some declines recently. The operating margins are around 20%. Despite the great growth, the trailing P/E is less than 13 which indicates reasonable valuations. Future growth in fundamentals will be the key to continued appreciation of the stock. But the forward P/E and the high PEG ratio indicates that the growth expectations in the medium term are not very high. BDX is basically relying on new product launches, licensing and network expansion etc. for future growth. The new products will help it bolster growth and further build its IPR portfolio which is always so crucial. A smaller medical device company, PLC Systems (PLCSF) recently obtained several patents for its single proprietary product RenalGuard which is used for contrast induced neuropathy. Patents are important assets for the medical device companies, and can help in increasing sales and generating regular stream of licensing revenues. BDX's new products like the cytometer and the injection for diabetics are also expected to do well in the market. Innovation is the key to long term success. If the markets hold, then one can expect reasonable returns. Slippages can lead to some profit booking so the fundamentals have to keep pace.
