Moderna said it is suing Pfizer and its German partner BioNTech for patent infringement.
Moderna said it is suing Pfizer and its German partner BioNTech for patent infringement linked to the development of the first Covid-19 vaccines.The lawsuit, which is seeking unspecified financial damages, was filed in the US and Germany.
The second alleged infringement is related to the way both vaccines target the distinctive spike protein on the outside of the virus. Early in the pandemic, Moderna said it would not enforce its patents to help other drug companies develop their own jabs, particularly for low- and middle-income countries.
Patent disputes often take place when new technology is developed and both Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna are already facing other lawsuits relating to their respective mRNA platforms.
