A jury in Superior Court of the State of California, County of Santa Clara, returned a verdict in the ongoing litigation between Luna Innovations (Roanoke, Virginia) and Hansen Medical (Mountain View, California) in favor of Hansen, determining that Luna Innovations breached its contract with Hansen as well as misappropriated trade secrets belonging to that company.

The jury awarded roughly $36 million in damages to Hansen.

Luna Innovations said it is evaluating the outcome, will file post-trial motions and will make a determination as to whether it intends to appeal the outcome at a later date.
