Summary:
"On Friday, September 18, 2020, KEI received a letter from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) confirming that the agency was investigating Moderna for failure to report government funding in patent applications. The Financial Times and other outlets had previously reported this investigation (see: https://www.keionline.org/moderna), but this letter is the first official notice we have received from DARPA.
The letter from DARPA is signed by D. Peter Donaghue, who is the Division Director for Contracts at DARPA.
The letter is short, and confirms that DARPA is conducting an investigation. I would expect Moderna to report this to shareholders at some point...."
