Bio-Rad Announces Receipt of New Ruling in Applied Biosystems Patent Infringement Dispute
Advertisement
Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. announced that it is in receipt of a recommended ruling issued by the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut regarding the longstanding patent infringement dispute filed by Applera, on behalf of its Applied Biosystems group (ABI), against MJ Research, Inc. and the outstanding judgment against MJ Research. The Court has denied MJ Research's motion to enforce a settlement agreement established on August 29, 2005 among the parties. MJ Research and Bio-Rad plan to appeal this decision. In the interim, the company will continue to comply with the injunction issued by the Court on August 30, 2005.
This action is part of a patent infringement law suit relating to Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and instruments (thermal cycler) for performing PCR. While Bio-Rad is a longtime licensee of certain intellectual property covered by Applera's patents, the company inherited responsibility for the 1998 patent infringement case brought against MJ Research as part of its August 2004 acquisition of MJ GeneWorks, Inc., the parent company of MJ Research.
