Roche Diagnostics today announced that a district judge in New York has ruled in favor of Roche Diagnostics on important aspects of patent infringement allegations brought by Enzo Biochem. The Court adopted virtually all of the interpretations proposed by Roche Diagnostics and its co-parties relating to seven Enzo patents covered by the order. Judge Sprizzo's ruling followed a week long hearing in July 2005 and extensive legal briefs by the parties. "This order will allow us to request a further ruling from the Court, declaring that Roche does not infringe on this patent," said Melinda Griffith, Senior Vice President and General Counsel of Roche Molecular Diagnostics, a business unit of Roche Diagnostics. "We look forward to the successful conclusion of this litigation." The litigation, first filed in 2002, concerns products and techniques for detecting genetic information in biological samples, such as blood.
