Arbutus Biopharma Corp. Receives Mixed Rulings in Patent Infringement Lawsuit Against Moderna
ABUS
Legal Proceedings
  • On February 2, 2026, the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware issued a mixed ruling in the patent infringement lawsuit filed by Arbutus Biopharma Corp. and Genevant Sciences GmbH against Moderna Inc. regarding Moderna's COVID-19 vaccine, MRNA-1273.
  • The court granted Moderna's defense under 28 U.S.C. § 1498(a) for vaccines supplied directly to U.S. Government employees, directing these claims to the Court of Federal Claims.
  • Conversely, the court denied Moderna's Section 1498 defense for most vaccine doses, allowing Arbutus's claims regarding these doses to proceed in the current court.
  • The court barred Arbutus's doctrine-of-equivalents claims for U.S. Patent Nos. 8,492,359, 9,364,435, and 11,141,378, requiring Arbutus to prove literal infringement for these patents.
  • The crucial question of the invalidity of Arbutus's patents will be decided by a jury.

Arbutus Biopharma Reports EPO Patent Revocation
ABUS
Legal Proceedings
  • On January 15, 2026, the Board of Appeal of the European Patent Office (EPO) revoked Arbutus Biopharma Corporation’s European patent EP 2279254.
  • The Company disagrees with this verbal decision and intends to file a petition for review by the Enlarged Board of Appeal of the EPO upon receipt of the written decision.
  • This decision is likely to affect certain ongoing patent cases brought by the Company and its licensee Genevant Sciences GmbH against Moderna in Switzerland and one case in the Unified Patent Court.
  • However, the Company does not expect this decision to impact its patent infringement litigation against Moderna in the United States, Japan, or Canada, or its litigation against Pfizer Inc. and BioNTech SE in the United States, as the EPO decision was based on a standard not applicable in those jurisdictions.
