The ITC 1068 Action

As previously disclosed: (a) on July 31, 2017, Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc. (“Bio-Rad”) and Lawrence Livermore National Security, LLC filed a complaint against 10x Genomics, Inc. (the “Company”) in the U.S. International Trade Commission (“ITC”) pursuant to Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, accusing substantially all of the Company’s products of infringing U.S. Patents Nos. 9,089,844, 9,126,160, 9,500,664, 9,636,682 and 9,649,635 (the “ITC 1068 Action”); and (b) in September 2018, the presiding judge issued an Initial Determination (i) finding that the Company’s Gel bead in Emulsion microfluidic chips (“GEM microfluidic chips”) infringe the ‘664, ‘682 and ‘635 patents but not the ‘160 patent, (ii) finding that the Company’s gel bead manufacturing microfluidic chip and new microfluidic chip (“Next GEM microfluidic chip”) do not infringe any claim asserted against them, (iii) recommending entry of an exclusion order against the Company’s GEM microfluidic chips and (iv) recommending a cease and desist order that would prevent the Company from selling imported GEM microfluidic chips.

The ITC is not reviewing the judge’s findings that the Company’s GEM microfluidic chips directly infringe the ‘664, ‘682 and ‘635 patents. The ITC is currently reviewing the judge’s findings that (1) the Company indirectly infringes the ‘682 and ‘635 patents, (2) the Company’s gel bead manufacturing microfluidic chip does not infringe certain claims in the ‘664 patent and (3) the Company’s Next GEM microfluidic chip does not infringe certain claims in the ‘160 and ‘664 patents.

On December 12, 2019, the ITC issued a notice to extend the target date for completion of its investigation until December 18, 2019. As such, a Final Determination is now expected to be issued on or prior to December 18, 2019.

The information furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 in this Current Report on Form 8-K shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any other filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
