Sanofi filed lawsuits against Pfizer and Moderna in a New Jersey federal court. The French pharmaceutical company alleges their COVID-19 vaccines infringe upon several of its patents.
The legal action targets the underlying mRNA technology used in the blockbuster vaccines. Sanofi seeks financial compensation for the alleged infringement of its intellectual property.
This case joins a broader wave of litigation involving Moderna, BioNTech, and Bayer over mRNA rights. These vaccines have generated billions of dollars in global revenue.
