Item 3. Legal Proceedings
U.S. District Court Proceedings
On December 14, 2023, we filed suit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California (the “Court”) against Somalogic, Inc. (Somalogic) which recently merged with and is now part of “Standard Biotools, Inc.,” and the California Institute of Technology. This suit sought declaratory judgment that Nautilus does not infringe any claims of US Patent No. 7,842,793 related to DNA origami structures (the ‘793 Patent), which Somalogic had allegedly licensed from the California Institute of Technology through its purchase of Palamedrix, Inc. On November 19, 2024, the Company, Standard Biotools, Inc., and the California Institute of Technology agreed to dismiss the suit and settle any and all disputes and/or claims related to the suit.
Other Proceedings
From time to time, we may become involved in various claims and legal proceedings. Regardless of outcome, litigation and other legal and administrative proceedings can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.
