In a Key Win for Parse, Patent Trial and Appeal Board Invalidates 10x Genomics Patent Claims

SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep 18, 2024--

Parse Biosciences, a leading provider of accessible and scalable single cell sequencing solutions, today announced that on September 17, 2024, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) issued a decision to invalidate all claims in the 10,155,981 patent that 10x Genomics had previously asserted against Parse. This is the most recent in a string of rulings against 10x in its efforts to use litigation to stymie innovation from its competitors and slow the advancement of discovery in the single cell genomics space.

In its decision to invalidate the 10,155,981 Patent, the PTAB rejected 10x Genomics arguments in response to the Inter Partes Review petitioned by Parse and ruled that all claims are unpatentable.

“We believe in providing the research community unfettered access to tools that help them get to discovery faster and more efficiently,” states Alex Rosenberg, PhD, co-founder and CEO of Parse Biosciences. He adds, “With this ruling, Parse remains committed to democratizing and advancing high throughput solutions for single cell genomics aimed at accelerating our understanding of the biological world.”
