AbCellera Biologics Inc.

From time to time, we may be subject to legal proceedings. We are not currently a party to or aware of any proceedings that we believe will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. However, regardless of outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on our business because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.

We are currently involved in the following litigation matters:

Patent Infringement Litigation

In July 2020, we filed a complaint against Bruker Cellular Analysis (on October 3, 2023, PhenomeX, the successor to Berkeley Lights was acquired by Bruker Cellular Analysis), in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, alleging that Bruker Cellular Analysis infringed and continued to infringe, directly and indirectly certain patents. In December 2025, the parties settled the case, resolving the patent infringement litigation. As part of the settlement, Bruker Cellular Analysis will receive a license under the patents and Bruker Cellular Analysis will pay AbCellera an upfront payment as well as future royalty payments on sales of Bruker Cellular Analysis’ Beacon Optofluidic platform products worldwide through the life of the licensed patents.

Civil Lawsuit

On October 14, 2022, the Estate of John Schrader and ImmVivos Pharmaceuticals Inc. filed a lawsuit naming as co-defendants the Company, some of its affiliates and Dr. Carl Hansen, the Company's CEO. The lawsuit was filed in the Supreme Court of British Columbia (Vancouver). The complaint alleges breach of an implied partnership or joint venture between Dr. John Schrader and Dr. Hansen and further alleges patent infringement of an issued Canadian patent(No. 2,655,511). The complaint seeks financial damages as well as other declarations. The Company has filed a Notice of Application seeking to dismiss certain Company affiliates from the matter. No hearing date has been set. All co-defendants have been served. The Company is proceeding to seek dismissal of certain Company affiliates for lack of jurisdiction. No other activity is occurring with respect to this matter. The Company believes that Plaintiffs’ claim is meritless in all respects and intends to defend itself appropriately.
