CureVac NV said Tuesday that it has filed a patent infringement
lawsuit in a German court against BioNTech SE.
The Nasdaq-listed biopharmaceutical company said the lawsuit
seeks fair compensation for infringement of a portfolio of
CureVac's intellectual property rights which are used in BioNTech
and Pfizer Ltd.'s mRNA COVID-19 vaccine.
CureVac said its IP portfolio protects inventions essential to
the design and development of BioNTech's vaccine.
"Accordingly, CureVac's intellectual property rights need to be
acknowledged and respected in the form of a fair compensation to
reinvest into the further advancement of mRNA technology and the
ongoing development of new classes of life saving medicines," the
company said.
