Severe severe weather warning for Baden-Württemberg: Lightning and heavy rain threaten!

Baden-Württemberg, Deutschland - Severe weather warning for the weekend! Baden-Württemberg faces turbulent weather, as the German Weather Service (DWD) has already reported in advance. Heavy rain and thunderstorms can be expected in the coming days, and the forecasts show that there may even be massive floods. The temperatures rise on Saturday, only to be replaced by a violent storm outbreak in the mountain country. For Sunday, meteorologists calculate up to 40 liters of rain in some regions, while in Upper Swabia up to 60 liters could fall on Monday. Hail can also occur, which could also tighten the situation. Insiders of the Storm Center emphasize the importance of remaining attentive and preparing for the storms in good time.

In the middle of this capricious weather, another excitement also ensures conversation: the takeover of Curevac by Biontech. As Tagesschau reports the acquisition of all Shares of the biotech company Curevac to secure competent know-how for the development of mRNA-based cancer therapies. This transaction has a billion dollar volume and is already the second major takeover within a short time for Biontech.

legal clashes and challenges

But the path of takeover is not entirely smooth. Curevac is considering an appeal against a directional decision by the German Court, which has declared one of its patents regarding MRNA technology, including those for COVID-19 vaccines, invalid. According to pharmaphorum, Curevac's share price then fell by about 40 percent. The dispute revolves around the patent violations between Curevac and Biontech, whereby the rumor should only fall over the next year.

curevac, which was unable to bring its own Covid 19 vaccine onto the market during the pandemic, remains optimistic and relies on the development of new mRNA vaccines against respiratory diseases in cooperation with GSK. After the judgment, Biontech himself has shown himself to be determined to defend his innovations against patent allegations. If it turns out that the Comirnaty vaccine actually intervenes in the patents of Curevac, this could lead to immense financial losses for Biontech.

June 13, 2025, however, is not only dedicated to this big news.
