(Reuters) -British drugmaker GlaxoSmithKline sued Moderna in U.S. federal court in Delaware on Tuesday, accusing its American rival of violating GSK's patent rights in messenger RNA (mRNA) technology with its blockbuster COVID-19 vaccine Spikevax. According to the two lawsuits, Moderna's lipid nanoparticles for transporting fragile mRNA into the human body infringe several GSK patents covering similar innovations. GSK filed a related lawsuit against Pfizer and BioNTech in the same court in April over their COVID-19 vaccine.
