Description

A federal jury just awarded Yale and Biohaven a whopping $4 million after finding RA Capital and Avilar Therapeutics willfully stole Yale’s proprietary protein degradation tech, MODA. The case, filed in March 2023, centered on confidential data RA Capital accessed in 2019 during a failed deal — data allegedly used to launch Avilar, a rival company. The jury sided with plaintiffs, ruling RA Capital breached confidentiality and misappropriated key trade secrets worth $2 million each, totaling $4 million. RA Capital called the verdict “modest” and denied wrongdoing, while Biohaven and Yale hailed the win as a victory for innovation and integrity in biotech partnerships.
