Further Patent Success in USA

Californian Court Denies Motion to Dismiss, Brought by Agilent Technologies, Inc.

Melbourne, Australia; 12 March 2014: Genetic Technologies Limited (ASX: GTG; NASDAQ: GENE) is pleased to announce that the United States District Court for the Northern District of California has last week issued an Order denying a motion brought by Agilent Technologies, Inc. (“Agilent”), to dismiss the patent infringement law suit brought against it by GTG.

This action was initially brought by GTG against Agilent in 2011, in the District Court of Colorado, but was then moved at the request of Agilent to the District Court in the Northern District of California.  Thereafter, both sides filed motions in support of their different legal perspectives.  Most recently, Agilent moved to have GTG’s complaint dismissed, arguing the relevant GTG patent covers natural phenomena or laws of nature that are not entitled to patent protection, and that the Court should therefore dismiss the action.  On 9 March 2014, the Court issued an Order denying Agilent’s motion to dismiss.

This significant success follows the separate success reported on 12 February 2014, when the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office again ruled that all claims of the GTG patent remained fully valid.

GTG Acting Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Tom Howitt repeated his earlier hope that: “With the removal of what some potential licensees have apparently used as a reason to delay settlement discussions, we trust that good faith negotiations will now resume in earnest”.
