The Company’s product offerings include technologies and related intellectual property rights that are either developed or acquired. Such technologies and rights, particularly patents, are a significant part of ongoing product development and differentiation. Lawsuits, claims, and proceedings of a nature that claim infringement of patents or patent licenses owned by others are considered normal to the business and may be pending from time to time against the Company. Intellectual property litigation is inherently complex and unpredictable. Although monetary and injunctive relief is typically sought, remedies and restitution are generally not determined until the conclusion of the trial court proceedings and can be modified on appeal. Accordingly, the outcomes of individual cases are difficult to time, predict, or quantify.

Loss contingency provisions are recorded if the potential loss from any claim, asserted or unasserted, or legal proceeding related to patents, products, and other matters, is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, or a range of loss can be determined. If the estimate of a probable loss is a range and no amount within the range is more likely, management’s best estimate is represented by the minimum amount of the range. If a material loss is not reasonably estimable, but is considered probable, or a material loss is reasonably possible, but not probable, disclosure would be provided below. The outcome of any of these proceedings cannot be accurately predicted, and the ultimate resolution of any of these existing matters, net of amounts accrued in the Company's balance sheet, may have a material adverse effect on the Company's business or financial condition.

Third parties might allege that the Company or its collaborators are infringing their patent rights or that the Company is otherwise violating their intellectual property rights. An adverse outcome in any of these proceedings could result in one or more of the following and have a material impact on the Company's business or consolidated results of operations and financial position: (i) loss of patent protection; (ii) inability to continue to engage in certain activities; (iii) payment of significant damages, royalties, penalties, and/or license fees to third parties; and, (iv) with respect to products acquired through acquisitions accounted for as business combinations, potentially significant intangible asset impairment charges.

At June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, the accrual for several unresolved legal matters that are probable and estimable was $4.1 million and $5.4 million, respectively. In management’s opinion, the Company is not currently involved in any legal proceedings individually or in the aggregate that could materially adversely impact the Company's operating results and cash flows.

In December 2025, the Company entered into a settlement and patent license agreement with AbCellera Biologics Inc. (“AbCellera”) and The University of British Columbia (“UBC”) resolving a previous patent litigation matter. The settlement included an agreement by the Company to pay $36.0 million to AbCellera in two equal installments over the first two quarters of 2026, as well as royalties on sales of the Company’s Beacon Optofluidic platform products in designated market segments until the expiration of the applicable patents. As of June 30, 2026, the Company paid the final installment of the settlement liability to AbCellera, and no related liability remains outstanding.

In May 2025, the Company entered into a settlement and global cross license agreements with 10x Genomics, Inc. (“10x”) resolving a previous patent litigation matter. The settlement included an agreement by the Company to pay $68.0 million to 10x in four quarterly installments beginning in the third quarter of 2025, as well as royalties on sales of the Company’s GeoMx Digital Spatial Profiler and CosMx Spatial Molecular Imager products until the expiration of the applicable patents. As of June 30, 2026, the Company paid the final installment of the settlement liability to 10x, and no related liability remains outstanding.
