A Washington court ruled against Illumina ($ILMN) in a patent lawsuit Thursday, finding that the sequencing giant infringed on Syntrix Biosystems' intellectual property and ordering the company to pay out $96 million in damages. The suit covers Illumina's BeadChip array, used in DNA and RNA analysis, which the court deemed to have infringed on Syntrix's similar technology. The $96 million figure is based on a royalty rate of 6% of BeadChip sales from 2005 to 2012. Illumina maintains that it did nothing wrong, however, and the company plans to file post-trial motions in an effort to vacate the court's decision. Item
