Where can I find out the time to market and the patent term of drugs?

Both of these problems can be understood by using database queries.

The time of drug listing can be queried in the global listing database, which can be used to query the listing data of nearly 2 million drugs in more than 40 mainstream countries around the world, and each query result has the approval date of the drug (drug approval listing date).

For example, in the "Drug Database Approved by FDA", the drug approval date of a drug is searched by fuzzy search, precise search, combination search, hot search, conditional screening, advanced search ("AND, OR, NOT") and intelligent search.

On the right side of the search results, you can query the date when the drug was approved for marketing.

Time to market of drugs

Duration of drug patents: You can query the duration of drug patents in the global medical patents of enterprise edition of the database. You can search for keywords by patent publication number, patent name, patentee, indication, drug name, target, first priority number, patent of the same family, inventor, etc. You can also use the date of patent first publication, the date of patent application and the date of first priority to search for the date, and filter the conditions according to the patent type and patent publication number.

For example, enter "T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia" in the indication, then select "product" in the patent type, and click search to enter detailed data.

Click "Patent Publication Number" to enter the details page, which includes (basic information, drug and company information, function overview, patents of the same branch), and the basic information includes the patent validity period.

Patent period of drugs

When doing drug research, we will know the date of drug listing and drug patent information, so as to inquire or understand the drug details of the target variety, analyze the target variety and avoid infringement.

At present, many generic drug companies will not wait until the patent period of the original drug expires, and may try many ways to go public in advance. Among them, there is the way of patent challenge. A bitten compound patent cannot be challenged, it is the first to expire. Patents such as crystal forms and preparations can be questioned in advance. Once the challenge is successful, the benefits of listing are enormous.

The above is the query method of drug listing time and patent period. In the database, not only these can be queried, but also information such as drug research and development, drug sales and national centralized procurement can be queried to provide comprehensive data support for the biomedical industry.
