  "summary": "Oxford Nanopore Technologies has secured a preliminary injunction against MGI Tech GmbH in a patent dispute over the CycloneSEQ sequencing platform. The injunction, issued by the Munich Local Division of the Unified Patent Court, prevents MGI Tech from producing, offering, or selling the CycloneSEQ-WT02, CycloneSEQ-WY01, G100-ER, and G400-ER systems, as well as related flow cells, or any other sequencer system using materially the same technology. The injunction applies to several European countries, including Germany, France, and the United Kingdom. Oxford Nanopore plans to pursue a permanent injunction and will begin proceedings for this purpose. The trial hearing is scheduled for October 2027.",
