WILMINGTON, DE – A federal jury in Wilmington, DE determined last Friday that Seattle-based NanoString Technologies Inc. willfully infringed several gene technology patents and awarded more than $31 million in damages to 10x Genomics Inc. The jury determined that NanoString deliberately infringed on seven patents owned by Prognosys Biosciences and which had been exclusively licensed to 10x Genomics with its GeoMx Digital Spatial Profiler product, all of which related to molecular profiling technology.

Impact Trial worked with teams from Tensegrity Law Group LLP and Richards, Layton & Finger, PA on behalf of their client, 10x Genomics, Inc.
