In accordance with the virtual patent marking provisions of 35 U.S.C. § 287(a), Cytek Biosciences, Inc. (“Cytek”) provides the following patent information concerning its products on this website. For each of the Cytek® products listed below, the product is patented under, made under, or used under one or more of the patents listed with the product name. This information is subject to change due to issuance, licensing or expiration of patent rights, product changes or launches and other circumstances.
The patent information displayed on this page is believed to be accurate as of the most recent update of the page but should not be considered exhaustive. In particular, the omission of a particular patent from a product’s entry on this page is not a representation or admission by Cytek that that patent does not cover the product; nor does the absence of any listing on this page for a specific Cytek product constitute a representation or admission by Cytek that the product is unpatented. In addition, although Cytek has attempted to keep the information on this page reasonably current, certain patents listed on this page may have expired since the page was last updated. Additional U.S. and foreign patent applications may be pending.
U.S. granted patents and published patent applications may be viewed at the USPTO Public Search webpage. Granted patents and published patent applications worldwide may be viewed at EPO espacenet. Learn more about the U.S. issued patents and U.S. published patent applications we hold associated with our products in the tables below under the heading for the product model name(s).
