Labcorp and University of Utah Research Foundation et al v. Ambry. The parties have agreed to drop their claims and counterclaims against one another. In a statement issued yesterday, Ambry noted that Myriad and other patent owners “grant a covenant to not sue Ambry under the patents asserted in the litigation proceedings.”
