Caught in a stand­off with its con­tract man­u­fac­tur­er over Covid-19 vac­cine, In­ovio files suit in an at­tempt to break free while ri­vals race ahead

In­ovio was one of the first vac­cine de­vel­op­ers to snag at­ten­tion for a jab that their ex­ecs said promised to end the Covid-19 pan­dem­ic. Us­ing their own unique DNA tech, CEO Joseph Kim said it took just 3 hours to work it out.

But while ri­vals are rac­ing to the fin­ish line with am­bi­tious plans to make vast quan­ti­ties of their vac­cines with bil­lions of dol­lars of deals, In­ovio is still stuck at the start­ing line on man­u­fac­tur­ing.
