Item 8.01 Other Events.
On September 5 and 6, 2023, the European Unified Patent Court, or UPC, heard arguments from NanoString Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) and 10x Genomics, Inc. (“10x Genomics”) in a two-day hearing in Munich, Germany in which the UPC considered a request by 10x Genomics and President and Fellows of Harvard College (“Harvard”) for a preliminary injunction against the use of the CosMx Spatial Molecular Imager for RNA detection in the European Union member states participating in the UPC system. The hearing related to alleged infringement of European Patent No. 4108782B1 (the “782 Patent”), which is owned by Harvard and is part of ongoing patent litigation between the Company and 10x Genomics. The hearing focused on, among other things, claim interpretation of the ‘782 Patent and its validity, in particular whether the ‘782 Patent is novel and inventive over prior art that predates the filing date of the patent application underlying the ‘782 Patent, as well as a weighing of the interests and risks of each of the parties that may potentially result from the granting or refusal of a preliminary injunction. At the conclusion of the hearing on September 6, the UPC announced that it would issue a decision in the ‘782 Patent preliminary injunction matter on Tuesday, September 19, 2023, following the separate preliminary injunction hearing scheduled that day before the UPC related to European Patent No. 2794928B1 (the “928 Patent”), which is also owned by Harvard and part of the ongoing patent litigation between the Company and 10x Genomics.
