These challenges are often compounded by accelerated schedules after therapeutic efficacy has been demonstrated during Phase I and Phase II clinical trials. At these inflection points, there is significant commercial motivation to accelerate schedules for combination products for Phase III trials and commercial launch. Unfortunately, many combination product development teams place too little emphasis on the device constituent part. This often results in prolonged device development activities and redo loops that significantly delay commercial milestones.
This webinar will help developers of combination products clearly understand the device development process. The goal is for participants to understand the risk factors that may arise and put in place mitigation strategies that will streamline the device development process. Register now to learn how to develop a clear and comprehensive plan to succeed in combination product development.

After a one-day bench trial, 234th District Judge Lauren Reeder on August 24 issued a take-nothing judgment in favor of Duchman Ltd., and its owners, Stanley and Lisa Duchman. She also ordered that the plaintiff, Wayne Kinsey, pay the Duchmans’ court costs.
HOUSTON, Sept. 5, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Burford Perry partner Kevin Powers successfully defended a Driftwood, Texas, winery in a breach of contract lawsuit that claimed the winery had defaulted on a multi-million dollar loan.
After a one-day bench trial, 234th District Judge Lauren Reeder on August 24 issued a take-nothing judgment in favor of the winery, Duchman Ltd., and its owners, Stanley and Lisa Duchman. She also ordered that the plaintiff, Wayne Kinsey, pay the Duchmans’ court costs.
Mr. Kinsey sought $7.6 million in damages based on $2.3 million he gave Duchman Ltd. between 2011 and 2012 and later claimed was a loan, according to Duchman’s court filings.
“Our case hinged on two main arguments,” said Powers. “The first was that the money Mr. Kinsey gave the Duchmans was a gift, not a loan; second, that even if it were a loan, the statute of limitations had run out by the time Mr. Kinsey sought his alleged repayment. The ruling made clear that Judge Reeder did not agree with the plaintiff’s version of events.”
The case is Wayne Kinsey v. Duchman Ltd., et al. No. 2020-80965 in the 234th District Court of Harris County, Texas.
Founded in 2004, Duchman Ltd. was named by HGTV as one of the 20 most picturesque wineries in the country.
