. A hearing date has not yet been set for this appeal. On October 30, 2023, NanoString requested that the Higher Regional Court temporarily stay enforcement of the injunction pending the appeal. On December 20, 2023, the Higher Regional Court granted NanoString’s request conditioned upon NanoString posting a 2.3 million Euro security deposit. The case is currently stayed pending a final legally binding decision on the validity of EP 928.On July 29, 2022, NanoString filed a nullity action with the German Federal Patent Court challenging the validity of the EP 928 patent. On February 10, 2023, the Federal Patent Court issued a preliminary opinion upholding the validity of certain claims of the EP 928 patent directed to in situ analysis. On May 7, 2024, the German Federal Patent Court revoked the German part of the EP 928 patent. The Company strongly disagrees with this decision.  On September 9, 2024, the Company appealed the decision to the German Federal Court of Justice.On June 1, 2023, the Company filed requests for preliminary injunctions in the Munich Local Division of the Unified Patent Court (“UPC”) alleging that NanoString’s CosMx Spatial Molecular Imager and associated instruments, reagents and services for RNA detection infringe the EP 928 patent and EP Patent No. 4108782 (the “EP 782 patent”). Hearings were held for the EP 782 and EP 928 patents on September 5 and September 19, respectively. On September 19, 2023, the UPC granted the Company’s request for the EP 782 patent and issued a preliminary injunction requiring NanoString to stop selling and supplying CosMx instruments and reagents for RNA detection in all 17 UPC member states. On October 10, 2023, the UPC denied the Company’s preliminary injunction request for the EP 928 patent. On October 2, 2023, NanoString filed an appeal of the preliminary injunction for the EP 782 patent in the UPC Court of Appeals. A hearing was held before the UPC Court of Appeals on December 18, 2023. The UPC Court of Appeals overturned the preliminary injunction on February 26, 2024.On August 31 and September 18, 2023 we filed main requests in the Munich Local Division of the UPC alleging that NanoString's CosMx Spatial Molecular Imager and associated instruments, reagents and services for RNA detection infringe
