CALP) today announced that it has favorably settled two
lawsuits with Carestream Health, Inc.

that Carestream’s marketing and sales of its instrument systems
induced infringement of seven imaging patents that are exclusively

In the second lawsuit, filed in July 2010, Carestream alleged
that Caliper’s Lumina XR system infringed a Carestream imaging
patent (U.S. Patent No. 7,734,325).
To settle these lawsuits, Carestream and Caliper have agreed (i)
to dismiss their respective claims and counterclaims; (ii) that
Carestream will not market and sell in-vivo optical imaging systems
for certain applications covered by patents licensed from Stanford
by Xenogen and Caliper; and (iii) that Carestream will not assert
that the Lumina XR system as currently configured and sold by
Caliper infringes any of Carestream’s patents.

P.L.L.C. The two suits are (i) Caliper Life Sciences, et
