Moderna has suffered a setback in a patent battle against their worst competitors in covid vaccines, Biontech and its partner Pfizer.
Av The European Patent Office, EPO, declared last week that a patent in mRNA technology, owned by Moderna, is invalid. This is reported by Reuters.

Moderna has announced that it intends to appeal the decision.
