Will a years-long patent dispute prevent the development and release of a potential COVID-19 vaccine? Moderna has been developing a promising vaccine for COVID-19 and in mid-July, announced its initial trials have found no serious side effects in humans. The biotechnology company’s vaccine uses lipid nanoparticle-encapsulated mRNA that encodes for an antigen for the virus. However, Moderna licensed the mRNA delivery system from a small company, Acuitas, which had previously l...icensed the technology from Arbutus Biopharma. In 2016, Arbutus terminated this license to Acuitas arguing its contract did not cover Moderna. Last January, Moderna filed an inter partes review of one of Arbutus Biopharma’s patents related to the lipid nanoparticle technology and in this proceeding, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board recently issued a ruling against Moderna.
