Moderna files lawsuits against Pfizer and BioNTech claiming patent infringement over Covid-19 vaccine technology
Moderna on Friday filed patent infringement lawsuits against Pfizer and BioNTech"for infringing patents central to mRNA technology platform," the company said in a news release Friday.
"Moderna believes that Pfizer and BioNTech's COVID-19 vaccine Comirnaty infringes patents Moderna filed between 2010 and 2016 covering Moderna's foundational mRNA technology. This groundbreaking technology was critical to the development of Moderna's own mRNA COVID-19 vaccine, Spikevax. Pfizer and BioNTech copied this technology, without Moderna's permission, to make Comirnaty," the news release said.
Moderna also says"Pfizer and BioNTech copied Moderna's approach to encode for the full-length spike protein in a lipid nanoparticle formulation for a coronavirus. Moderna scientists developed this approach when they created a vaccine for the coronavirus that causes Middle East Respiratory Syndrome years before COVID-19 first emerged.
