Bruker (Nasdaq: BRKR) announced the suspension of an injunction affecting sales of CosMx™ Spatial Molecular Imager (SMI) products by its NanoString business in Germany. This development is related to ongoing patent litigation with 10x Genomics. The suspension was made possible after Bruker posted a bond authorized by the Munich Higher Regional Court.
The German Higher Regional Court of Munich had previously granted NanoString the right to lift the injunction, citing concerns with the lower Munich Regional Court's May 2023 decision. The Court noted that the lower court had failed to address relevant aspects of the case, including a disputed feature of the patent at issue.
As a result, all CosMx products are now available again to German scientific instrument customers, effective immediately.
