Illumina Wins Patent Infringement Suit against BGI in the UK<\/b><\/p>\n

SAN DIEGO–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nIllumina, Inc. (NASDAQ: ILMN) today announced that the High Court of Justice, Chancery Division, Patents Court, issued a judgment in its favor in the patent infringement suit filed against the BGI Companies, MGI Tech Co. Ltd; Latvia MGI SIA; MGI International Sales Co., Ltd; and BGI Complete Genomics Hong Kong Co., Ltd.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe Court found that four of the five asserted patents were valid and infringed by BGI. The Court ruled that BGI\u2019s StandardMPS and CoolMPS systems infringe EP 1 530 537 B1, EP 3 002 289 B1, and EP 3 587 433 B1, and that StandardMPS also infringes EP 2 021 415 B1. These patents cover different aspects of Illumina\u2019s proprietary sequencing-by-synthesis chemistry, including its azidomethyl reversible terminator and labelled nucleotides.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe Court had previously issued a preliminary injunction against BGI\u2019s UK-based sequencing laboratory and restricted BGI\u2019s ability to supply the infringing sequencing systems in the UK. Illumina intends to seek a permanent injunction fully prohibiting the supply or sale of BGI\u2019s StandardMPS and CoolMPS systems in the UK until the relevant patents expire.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cWe are pleased with the Court\u2019s decision. This adds to the growing list of courts around the world finding that BGI has misappropriated Illumina\u2019s proprietary, groundbreaking technology,\u201d said Charles Dadswell, SVP and General Counsel for Illumina. \u201cWe will continue to vigorously protect our intellectual property from BGI\u2019s willful infringement.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nCourts in the US, Germany, Spain, Finland and Sweden have issued injunctions against BGI. Additional lawsuits are pending in Hong Kong S.A.R., France, Belgium, Denmark, Switzerland, Turkey and Italy.\n<\/p>\n
