I think that's the question. I'm very much used to reading "A machine-readable medium, comprising..." I'm curious what bits are unique to COVID-19, and what bits are generally protecting the idea of using a carrier to send a specific protein. In this case, is it the "S" protein phrasing that protects the specific embodiment of COVID19's spike?

Here what is claimed is encoding for any betacoronavirus's spike protein.

Aha! That's what is surprising to me - I assumed that that would have been done previously / protected previously. That explains it.
