is suing its two major competitors in the market for vaccines, and BioNTech, over allegations that the two firms used its patented technology in the development of their mRNA jabs. Both Moderna's shot and the joint Pfizer-BioNTech jab are mRNA shots - a little-used technology before its introduction to the mainstream during the COVID-19 pandemic. Moderna alleges that the two competing firms copied technology it had patented between 2010 and 2016.Moderna had previously chosen not to enforce its patent during the rollout of the Covid vaccines in an effort to avoid stifling global jab rates. It then changed its policy in March, now only promising not to enforce its patents in ways that will harm low-and-middle income nations.
