A federal jury in Wilmington, Del., found that Illumina Inc. infringed on five patents controlled by Affymetrix Inc. San Diego-based Illumina said Tuesday it will appeal the outcome of a patent infringement verdict in which it has been ordered to pay Santa Clara-based Affymetrix Inc. $16.7 million. Affymetrix, which is expanding its West Sacramento plant, makes microchips used in genetic research. Illumina said it will continue to sell the products in dispute while it pursues its appeals.
