The notable case involving Quanterix is Fujirebio Diagnostics, Inc. v. Quanterix Corp., an inter partes review (IPR) filed at the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) on March 7, 2025. This PTAB case is related to a lawsuit filed by Fujirebio Diagnostics, Inc. in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware in May 2025. Fujirebio sought a ruling that its Alzheimer's disease blood test, the Lumipulse plasma assay, does not infringe Quanterix's U.S. Patent No. 11,275,092, which covers methods for detecting tau protein in blood. The PTAB case itself challenged the patentability of Quanterix's patent, citing prior art related to digital ELISA and tau protein biomarker detection.
