A patent infringement case would be possible. It has happened in many cases, when companies were taken over by another company, and in their portfolio they carried a patent or patents. The former company never paid attention if their patent was infringed however the new owner did and sued those who infringed it.
As Life Scan was not the owner of those patents and the owner of the patents sold it to DECN and now DECN could prove, that in the years back, LifeScan infringed those patents, DECN could sue them.
As a matter of fact, it happens more often than one thinks and there are law firms out there searching for such patents to be acquired and then going after infringers. Keep in mind, such a process is not cheap and time consuming and for this reason, small companies do not even think about starting such a legal process.
DECN on the other hand is battle-proven, has an excellent law-team around them and I guess could be backed by some litigations funds.
It is a very hot game indeed, but it could catapult DECN to the front-pages if such a thing would start.
