A Delaware federal judge has sided with Arbutus’ interpretation of three patent claim terms in its case against Moderna, giving the biotech a small win in a drawn-out patent dispute.

While plaintiffs agreed that the Covid-19 pandemic would have been “immeasurably worse” without the widespread availability of Moderna’s vaccine, they argued that the achievement was made possible by Arbutus’ discoveries around LNPs.
