We are aware of recent public statement made by Oxford Nanopore Technologies plc concerning the ongoing intellectual property litigation in Australia.
To be clear, the matter, for which a trial is scheduled in June 2027, remains pending, and no court has issued any judgment on the merits of the case. We have asserted that the patents in dispute are invalid on various grounds and should be revoked. We remain confident in our legal position and will continue to defend our rights and interests through the appropriate legal channels.
We believe it is important to respect the legal process. Any characterizations suggesting a concluded outcome are premature and do not reflect the procedural status of the case. We strongly reject any characterization that may mislead public and misrepresent the procedural status of the case while the matter remains pending. We encourage all parties to ensure that public statements accurately reflect the ongoing judicial process.
Regarding the matter reportedly filed in the United Kingdom, we have not been formally served with any claim.
