Harvard University and two private biotech companies will meet in federal court next week to resolve who has commercial rights to gene-mapping technology that could revolutionize cancer treatment.

Vizgen Inc. is in a legal battle with Harvard and 10x Genomics Inc. over commercial use of patents obtained through research funded by the National Institutes of Health. Both 10x and Vizgen were founded by Harvard scientists and have licensing agreements with the university to use "highly complex genome sequencing technologies," according to court records.
