Nautilus Biotechnology Inc

U.S. District Court Proceedings

On December 14, 2023, we filed suit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California against Somalogic, Inc. (Somalogic) which recently merged with and is now part of “Standard Biotools, Inc.”, and the California

Institute of Technology. This suit seeks 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 has allegedly licensed from the California Institute of Technology through its purchase of Palamedrix, Inc. We have taken this action in response to Somalogic’s allegations that the Nautilus proteome analysis platform infringes the claims of the ‘793 Patent. We believe that it does not use any technology related to what the ‘793 Patent purports to claim in any of the products or services that we are developing. Nor do we have any interest or plans to use such technology in any of our future products or services. We intend to vigorously pursue our claims in this litigation.

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.
