Moderna Sues Pfizer, BioNTech For Copying Their Technology For Medicine
Moderna is suing Pfizer and the German drugmaker BioNTech, accusing its main competitors of copying Moderna's technology to make Covid-19 vaccine. On August 25, Moderna said, "Pfizer and BioNTech's vaccine Comirnaty infringes on patents Moderna filed several years ago protecting the technology behind its preventive shot, Spikevax." The lawsuit has been filed in the US Federal Court and German Court. Meanwhile, a Pfizer spokeswoman declined to comment in the matter.
