Sudden: Modner sued Pfizer's new crown vaccine infringement

At 8:06 pm on August 26, Beijing time, Modna, a well -known American pharmaceutical company, posted on his social account, announcing that the company would sue another large -scale pharmaceutical company Pfizer in the United States and cooperate with Pfizer to develop a new crown with Pfizer. Vaccine Biontech. Modner said that the new crown vaccine launched by the two companies violated Modner's MRNA technology patent.

In a statement published on the official website of Modna, Modner stated that the company registered a number of innovative MRNA technology patents from 2010 to 2016, and used these breakthrough technology to develop Modner's own home. New crown vaccine product "Spikevax". The new crown vaccine "Comingaty" of Pfizer and BIONTECH, according to Modner's allegations, "copied" Modner's technology without Modner's permission.

Modner also accused him more specifically that by Pfizer and Biontech, it is the key part of the two in the Modna MRNA -related technical patents that can determine a MRNA vaccine. The process of "plagiarism".

According to Modner, Pfizer and Biontech actually tried several vaccines developed by different technical paths during the clinical trial stage, including vaccines that were not stained with Modner's technology, but the last two chose to include Moder The two key parts of the MRNA technology.

Modner said that one of these technologies can avoid the MRNA chemical modification technology that can avoid MRNA vaccines in the human body. This technology is developed and developed by Modner in 2010 and proved to be valid through human experiments in 2015; and it is valid; and it is valid for human experiments; and it is valid for human experiments. Another technology is a technology invented by Modner's scientists when developing MERS viruses many years ago that can encode the coronary virus in lipid nanoparticles in lipid nanoparticles.

In addition, Modner added that before the new crown epidemic, no matter whether Pfizer nor Biontech did not have Modner's professional standards in the development of MRNA vaccines in response to infectious diseases, the two companies have always followed Modner's initiative to follow Modner's. Develop your own vaccine behind him.

In summary, Modner stated that the company decided to sue Pfizer and BIONTECH to protect the patented, innovative MRNA created by Modnes and had applied for patents more than 10 years ago. technology.

"We believe that Pfizer and Biontech illegally copied Modner's invention and continued to use these technologies without permission." Modner wrote in the statement citing the company's chief legal officer Shannon Thyme Klinger. The chief legal officer also said Pfizer and Biontech should compensate Modner's losses.

However, in the statement, Modner also stated that in order to ensure the continuous supply of various new crown vaccines during the epidemic, Modner would not seek the "infringement" vaccine that removed Pfizer and BIONTECH from the market, and it would not prevent the sale of the vaccine from selling the vaccine. It will not ask Pfizer and BIONTECH to use its vaccine sales income in 92 low -income countries to compensate Modner. Modner believes that these two companies should use Modner to compensate Modner in these 92 countries. Proficiency in the market outside.

Modner also said he would not claim the behavior of Pfizer and Biontech before March 8, 2022. According to Modner, this is because the company announced in October 2020 that in order to cope with the new crown epidemic at that time, Modner would not start a patent to defend the patent related to the new crown during the duration of the epidemic, but in March 2022, in March 2022, After that, Modner believed that the new crown epidemic had entered a new stage, and the supply of the new crown vaccine in many countries in the world was also resolved. Therefore, the company decided to restore its rights to defense about its relevant patents after March 8, 2022.

At present, according to Modner's statement in the statement, the company has filed a lawsuit in the Massachusetts District Court of Massachusetts and Dusseldorf, Germany to the two companies on their new crown vaccine's MRNA technology patent infringement in the new crown vaccine. Essence

Finally, according to a report from the United States CNN (CNN), a spokesman for Pfizer said that he had not received relevant prosecution documents and "could not comment on the matter."
