Moderna said on Friday it was suing Pfizer and and its German partner BioNTech for copying the “groundbreaking technology” behind its mRNA Covid-19 vaccine. The Moderna vaccine was the first Covd-19 jab approved in the United States. Moderna, in a statement, alleged that Pfizer copied the technology that the firm developed years before the Covid pandemic struck in 2020.
The lawsuit, which seeks monetary damages, was filed in US District Court in Massachusetts and the Regional Court of Dusseldorf in Germany.
“We are filing these lawsuits to protect the innovative mRNA technology platform that we pioneered, invested billions of dollars in creating, and patented during the decade preceding the Covid-19 pandemic,” Moderna Chief Executive Stephane Bancel said in the statement.
