The American biotechnology company Moderna announced, Friday, August 26, to file a complaint against the Pfizer and BioNTech laboratories for patent infringement concerning their messenger RNA vaccine against Covid-19.
“Moderna Believes Pfizer and BioNTech’s Comirnaty Covid-19 Vaccine Infringes Patents Filed by Moderna Between 2010 and 2016 Covering Moderna’s Core Messenger RNA Technology“, says a press release from the firm.
Moderna and Pfizer/BioNTech are the first laboratories to have put their vaccines against the coronavirus into production, very quickly after the start of the pandemic, thanks to this messenger RNA technology which allows human cells to be ordered to manufacture proteins present in the virus in order to train the immune system to recognize and neutralize it.
