Caixin: Chinese DNA Sequencing Firm BGI Faces Legal Battle with Illumina

BGI’s subsidiary BGI Europe was sued by Illumina Inc. in Denmark on alleged patent infringement last week. The complaint alleged BGI's sequencing products and related sequencing chemistry reagents infringe on Illumina's European patent.

The case followed another infringement suit filed by Illumina in Germany against another BGI subsidiary, Latvia MGI Tech, in March.
