BioNTech 近億美元和解 COVID 疫苗專利費用




BioNTech與美國機構及賓夕法尼亞大學達成COVID疫苗版稅和解協議

(路透社) – BioNTech已與美國國立衛生研究院(NIH)和賓夕法尼亞大學達成兩項獨立的和解協議,涉及其COVID-19疫苗的版稅支付。這家德國公司與美國製藥商輝瑞(Pfizer)合作開發了該疫苗,並表示將向美國國立衛生研究院支付7.915億美元,以解決一項違約通知。

此外,BioNTech還將向賓夕法尼亞大學支付4.67億美元,該校同意撤回對疫苗製造商的訴訟,指控其未支付足夠的版稅。

BioNTech表示,合作夥伴輝瑞將為其支付的版稅提供高達1.7億美元的補償,並為2020年至2023年期間向NIH支付的3.645億美元的版稅提供補償。

NIH和賓夕法尼亞大學尚未立即對置評請求作出回應。

根據BioNTech所獲得的某些專利的許可條款,美國政府有權獲得版稅支付,這些專利由NIH及其他實體擁有。賓夕法尼亞大學的訴訟指出,BioNTech因使用由賓夕法尼亞大學的教授及諾貝爾獎得主Katalin Kariko和Drew Weissman開發的“基礎”信使RNA(mRNA)發明,應支付該校更高比例的全球疫苗銷售版稅。

BioNTech還修改了與NIH和賓夕法尼亞大學的許可協議,同意向這兩個實體支付其疫苗淨銷售額的一個低單位百分比。這兩項和解協議還包括一個框架,用於在組合產品中使用NIH和賓夕法尼亞大學的專利。

公司表示,這些協議不構成對任何一方的責任承認。

這次和解標誌著BioNTech在疫苗開發過程中的一個重要里程碑,顯示出其在商業運作中對法律和財務責任的重視。隨著COVID-19疫苗的全球需求減少,BioNTech的收入可能會受到影響,因此這些和解協議的達成不僅有助於解決當前的法律糾紛,還能為公司未來的發展打下基礎。

在疫苗研發和商業化的過程中,知識產權的問題愈發受到關注,特別是在涉及多方合作的情況下。BioNTech與輝瑞的合作模式為其他生物技術公司提供了一個範本,但同時也提醒業界在追求創新時,必須妥善處理與知識產權和版稅相關的法律風險。這一事件可能會引發更廣泛的行業討論,尤其是在如何平衡創新與公平補償之間的問題。

Ultra-detailed pastel kawaii cosplay portrait of a woman [image uploaded] character, posed with hands gently pressed together under her chin in a soft, doll-like gesture; vivid long wavy hair in split-gradient lavender and pink with styled curled ends; straight bangs dyed pastel lavender; decorative accessories throughout the hair including pastel bows, lace ribbons, small charms, and a frilled white lace headpiece with pink accents; makeup: heavy kawaii style with saturated pink eyeshadow, pink blush extending across cheeks and nose, glossy pink lips, heart-shaped cheek stickers, and large contact-lens-enhanced eyes; outfit: pastel pink lace wrist cuffs with big bows and heart embellishments, soft pastel clothing with ribbons and frills; background: dreamy soft-focus bokeh in shimmering pink tones creating a magical fairytale atmosphere; lighting: bright soft diffused beauty lighting with zero harsh shadows, high exposure pastel glow, smooth porcelain skin texture, ultra-saturated colors, whimsical fantasy aesthetic, high-resolution portrait photography. Negative: no real-person likeness, no watermark, no text, no distortion, no extra limbs, no deformed face, no realism unless stylized, no background objects. Generate an ultra-realistic, highly ultra-detailed, 8k resolution with 1080x1080 pixel portrait of me using the uploaded image for reference (preserved the likeness and the original face for reference) of a striking, ultra-sharp black and white studio portrait of a young woman with a powerful, direct gaze. She is seated gracefully on a seamless bright white floor, her legs crossed in a stylized, almost sculptural pose, with one knee raised and her hands clasped firmly over it. Her posture exudes a blend of strength and quiet contemplation. Her long, sleek, dark brown hair is meticulously parted down the middle, falling evenly over her shoulders, framing her face with elegant precision. Her makeup is refined and impactful, featuring intensely defined eyes with dark eyeliner, subtle shading, and prominent, well-groomed eyebrows. Her lips are natural, complementing her smooth, matte complexion. She is dressed in a simple, form-fitting black long-sleeved bodysuit, which accentuates the natural contours of her body without distraction. There are no accessories, maintaining a pure and minimalist aesthetic. *** The lighting is soft, even, and highly diffused, creating subtle, sculptural shadows that define her form and facial features without any harshness. The seamless pure white background provides an expansive, ethereal setting, isolating the subject and enhancing the monochromatic palette. The composition is a perfectly balanced medium full shot, centering the model and emphasizing the strong, symmetrical lines of her pose. The image is rendered with exquisite detail and clarity, from the individual strands of her hair to the subtle textures of her skin. The overall style is minimalist fine art portraiture, blending classic elegance with a contemporary edge, focusing on form, emotional depth, and timeless beauty. Create a hyper-realistic cinematic scene inside a traditional Wing Chun training hall. The man from the uploaded reference image is training at a wooden dummy with Ip Man standing beside him, personally correcting his technique. Keep both faces accurate to the reference image: exact skin tone, hairstyle, age, expression, and natural sweat on their skin.
Both wear classic black Wing Chun uniforms with white cuffs. Show Ip Man’s calm, focused guidance as he places his hands near the student’s arms on the wooden dummy. Capture the wooden dummy with polished texture and rich warm tones.
Include authentic Chinese decor: calligraphy scrolls, carved wooden frames, soft lantern light, and other students blurred in the background. Use shallow depth of field, warm natural lighting from the windows, and crisp detail on clothing and skin. The scene should feel like a still frame from an Ip Man movie, grounded, disciplined, and cinematic.
