More Focus on Cancer Testing

CEO Tony Zook welcomed the decision, noting the company’s focus on providing more cancer testing options. While profits remain a challenge, the company is steadily growing and staying financially stable.


Holds Over 500 Patents

For Natera, the setback is small. It still controls more than 500 patents, including one powerful patent (‘035) that previously blocked NeoGenomics’ older version of the RaDaR test. Natera may appeal the ruling, but it continues to grow, with Q2 revenue up 32% to $546.6 million due to increased demand for its cancer tests.


From Two Billion To Seven Billion

The MRD testing market is expected to soar from $2 billion in 2025 to $7 billion by 2033. Both Natera and NeoGenomics are racing to stay ahead, with success depending on strong innovation, patent protection, and wider insurance coverage.
