About:
The non-exclusive sublicenses allow the generic manufacturers to produce raw ingredients for nirmatrelvir and the finished drug itself co-packaged with ritonavir. The agreements follow the voluntary licensing agreement MPP and Pfizer signed in November 2021.

It is part of the nirmatrelvir/ritonavir combination sold under the brand name Paxlovid.
