Pfizer and its German partner BioNTech have lost their bid to overturn a ruling that their COVID-19 vaccine infringed one of Moderna's patents. London's Court of Appeal upheld the earlier decision, marking an unfavorable outcome for the companies in this long-running legal dispute.
This ruling means that Pfizer and BioNTech's COVID-19 vaccine was found to have violated Moderna's intellectual property rights in the UK. The decision could lead to significant financial implications, including potential damages or licensing fees.
The loss of this appeal adds to the legal challenges faced by Pfizer and BioNTech regarding their COVID-19 vaccine. It underscores the complexities of patent law in the pharmaceutical sector and the potential for substantial liabilities arising from such disputes.
