The German pharmaceutical company that developed a COVID-19 vaccine along with Pfizer has hit out at a proposal to suspend intellectual property rights.
BioNTech says patents are not the limiting factor for the production or supply of its vaccine, and would not boost stocks around the world anytime soon.
There is a renewed push to suspend patents backed by the US president.
India and South Africa have been leading the campaign at the World Trade Organization, calling for the waiver.
But the European Union is yet to do the same.
