Patent dispute between vaccine manufacturers: The US company Moderna is suing the German company Biontech.

The Americans are demanding compensation.

Cambridge – The US biotech company Moderna wants to hold German rival Biontech and its partner Pfizer accountable for alleged patent infringements in the development of corona vaccines.

Moderna has therefore filed lawsuits in courts in the United States and Germany, the company announced on Friday.

Moderna demands compensation from Biontech

Moderna is demanding compensation for infringements of intellectual property rights, but has not yet disclosed the amount.

Specifically, it is about the development of mRNA vaccine against Covid-19.

Moderna had already invested "billions of dollars" here before the outbreak of the pandemic and wanted to protect its innovative technology platform, CEO Stephane Bancel said, according to a press release.
