A new lawsuit from competitor Sanofi SA, filed in July 2026, claims Moderna's core COVID and RSV vaccine products infringe on patents for mRNA delivery methods. This creates significant legal risk and potential disruption to Moderna's manufacturing and sales operations, increasing pressure to de-risk their processes and IP portfolio.
Filing excerpt

(all subsidiaries of Sanofi SA), filed a complaint against us in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey asserting that our manufacture and sale of our COVID and RSV vaccines infringe U.S. patents related to compositions and methods for mRNA delivery.
