Amended complaint asserts infringement of U.S. Patent Nos. ‘596 and ‘454 by the modified version of NeoGenomics’ RaDaR assay

Natera, Inc. (NASDAQ: NTRA), a global leader in cell-free DNA (cfDNA) and genetic testing, today announced an expansion of its patent infringement lawsuit against NeoGenomics, Inc. related to its RaDaR® tests.

On December 10, 2024, the District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina (“The District Court”) granted Natera’s request to include an additional patent in its ongoing lawsuit against NeoGenomics. Natera’s amended complaint now includes U.S. Patent No. 11,319,596, as well as U.S. Patent No. 11,530,454 as previously asserted in the complaint.

Natera asserts infringement of the ’596 and ’454 patents by the new version of NeoGenomics’ RaDaR® test, which tests for molecular residual disease. This follows a December 2023 preliminary injunction and September 2024 permanent injunction ordered by the District Court of NeoGenomics’ previous version of its RaDaR® test.

Natera is seeking full remedies against NeoGenomics’ current RaDaR® test offering, including injunctive relief.
