Natera Announces Next Phase of CareDx Patent Infringement Litigation Seeking Royalty For All Ongoing And Future AlloSure Tests

Natera, Inc. (NASDAQ: NTRA), a global leader in cell-free DNA testing, today announced the next phase of proceedings in its patent infringement litigation against CareDx. The U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware will now determine if CareDx owes a royalty for future infringement related to ongoing and future AlloSure testing occurring after August 2023.

This follows a Jan. 2024 jury verdict in favor of Natera, in which the jury awarded $96.3 million in damages to Natera in lost profits and past royalties through August 2023. The jury found that CareDx’s AlloSure and AlloSeq tests infringed one of the two Natera patents asserted against CareDx and that all asserted claims of both patents are valid on various grounds.

Discovery and briefing for this next phase are expected to last through the end of summer 2024.
