Bruker (Nasdaq: BRKR) announced that the European Unified Patent Court (UPC) has ruled in favor of its NanoString business, invalidating European Patent No. 2794928B1 (the '928 Patent') asserted by 10x Genomics against NanoString's CosMx® Spatial Molecular Imager (SMI) products in Europe. This ruling follows a similar decision by the German Federal Patent Court in May 2024, which declared the patent invalid in Germany. The UPC's decision extends the invalidation to France and The Netherlands.
The ruling is subject to appeal. Bruker awaits an additional hearing on a related patent (European Patent 4108782B1) and expects it to be declared invalid as well. The European Patent Office has issued a preliminary opinion considering this patent invalid, with a hearing scheduled for March 18, 2025.
