“We’re pleased that we have reached a worldwide settlement with 10x, putting an end to all litigation between us,” said Mark R. Munch, Ph.D., President of the Bruker Nano Group. “This is a great outcome for the scientific community, who can continue their work using Bruker’s CosMx® and GeoMx® spatial biology platforms without concern that litigation could interfere with their advancements in oncology, neurobiology, and other fields of research.
