In the ongoing multinational litigation complex between 10x Genomics, Inc. andNanoString Technologies Inc. (including subsidiaries) comprising many infringement,
invalidity, anti-suit injunction, anti-anti-suit injunction, opposition and appeal
proceedings, the UPC Local Division Munich has now pronounced one of the first penalty
payment orders in UPC history. Earlier this year, following the first UPC preliminary
injunction hearing (BARDEHLE PAGENBERG represents 10x Genomics in first UPC
preliminary injunction hearing against NanoString | BARDEHLE PAGENBERG), on
September 19, 2023, the panel granted a preliminary injunction against NanoString for
infringement of the patent EP/UP 4 108 782. The decision specifically orders NanoString
to include an explicit and eye-catching notice on any offer of the infringing products that
NanoString’s CosMx Spatial Molecular Imager and corresponding decoder probes mustnot be used for RNA detection in the UPC member states.

December 5, 2023, the UPC Local Division Munich ordered NanoString to pay a penalty

PAGENBERG paves way to successful infringement proceedings for 10x Genomics with
anti-anti-suit-injunction | BARDEHLE PAGENBERG; 10x Genomics Wins Permanent
Injunction Against NanoString's CosMx Products | 10x Genomics). These decisions also
included the order for NanoString to include similar notices concerning the German
territory in any offer of the infringing products. NanoString Technologies Inc. andNanoString Technologies GmbH filed an appeal which is pending.
On November 13, 2023, the Munich Regional Court I found that NanoString
Technologies Inc. violated the enforced injunction and ordered a penalty payment ofEUR 60,000 for non-compliance with the 7 O 2693/22 injunction, because NanoString
repeatedly failed to add the notices to all relevant webpages offering the infringing
products in Germany.
Both decisions are subject to an appeal by NanoString.
