Brii Biosciences has not published a global access plan for its product.
Brii Biosciences has not made a commitment to comply with human rights.
The company should constructively engage with international initiatives for the equitable distribution of vaccines and therapeutics, such as the Covid-19 Technology Access Pool (C-TAP) or the Medicines Patent Pool (MPP), and the ACT Accelerator (COVAX).

Brii Biosciences has partnered with WuXi Biologics for manufacturing. This is dubbed a ‘strategic collaboration’, which grants Brii Bio access to WuXi Biologics’ antibody platform technology. WuXi biologics is then to be the “exclusive development and manufacturing partner of any novel bispecific antibodies discovered from the WuXiBody Platform”.
The company should engage in efforts to further equitable distribution of Covid-19 vaccines/therapeutics, by equitably distributing its supplies globally, devising fair pricing strategies, and making the active ingredient for its product available to other manufacturers. The company should also engage in full technology transfer to other manufacturers, including the necessary transfer of skills, legal components, knowledge and intellectual property. Where applicable, the company should agree to waive rights in regulatory test data, and refrain from enforcing TRIPS+ measures.
