BioNTech is currently embroiled in
legal disputes involving patents and royalties relating to the Comirnaty COVID-19 vaccine. The company has been sued by the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn) for reportedly circumventing their due royalties. Genmab, GlaxoSmithKline, and Moderna have also initiated
lawsuits against the company.
Earnings dropped in the second quarter, with losses quadrupling as demand for the COVID-19 vaccine has fallen, leading to decreased revenues. To recoup, BioNTech has increased R&D spending for new cancer products. Across
clinical trials, the FDA stalled BioNTech's ADC trial due to significant health risk after recorded fatalities. The business has refocused, moving toward the
development of personalized vaccines, particularly mRNA based and with a spotlight on cancer treatments. In Africa, BioNTech has secured $145 million funding aiming to establish mRNA vaccine production in Rwanda by 2025. While the business received Emergency Use Authorization for its Covid-19 vaccine for
younger ages, other regulatory approvals and merger activities have been overshadowed by the financial troubles within the firm.
