In a settlement this week in the U.S. federal court in Delaware, Merck and Pfizer agreed to dismiss patent claims against one another. Under the deal, Merck will pay Pfizer 7.25% of its net sales from pneumococcal conjugate shots worldwide through the end of 2026… After that, the company will owe a 2.5% royalty to its New York rival through the end of 2035…
The royalty is based on the settlement of patent litigation pertaining to conjugated vaccines.
