AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep 23, 2024--
Natera, Inc. (NASDAQ: NTRA), a global leader in cell-free DNA (cfDNA) and genetic testing, today issued the following statement regarding its ongoing patent infringement litigation with NeoGenomics in response to inquiries:
On Sept. 23, 2024, the District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina entered a permanent injunction against NeoGenomics’ accused RaDaR assay, which was preliminarily enjoined in December 2023. Natera continues to prosecute its claim against a modified version of RaDaR for infringement of Natera’s ‘454 patent. Natera seeks full remedies, including injunctive relief, after the Patent Office denied NeoGenomics’ petition for ‘inter partes’ review challenging the validity of the ‘454 patent.
