A patent's expiry date may change depending upon legal activities going on that patent. Critical activities like abandoning of a patent, term extension of a patent or amendment of its claims can increase or decrease the life of a patent hence affecting its expiry date and in turn affecting the generic launch date of that drug. Tracking these ongoing activities on a patent application helps to keep an eye on the latest developments in the patent process of the drug which can give an idea of how early a drug's generic could be available. The next section provides a list of recent legal activities on Auvelity's patents.

Given below is the list of recent legal activities going on the following patents of Auvelity.

Several oppositions have been filed on Auvelity's European patents. EP oppositions can significantly impact the timeline for the generic launch of drugs. If an opposition results in the revocation or amendment of a patent, it can shorten the exclusivity period of the original drug. This can lead to an earlier entry of generic versions into the market. To help you estimate the potential early arrival of Auvelity's generic, the next section provides detailed information on ongoing and past EP oppositions related to Auvelity patents.

Auvelity's Oppositions Filed in EPO

Auvelity has faced multiple oppositions in the European Patent Office. The earliest opposition was filed on May 31, 2021, by Elkington And Fife Llp. This opposition was filed on patent number EP15861189A. Click below to reveal the latest opposition data.

US patents provide insights into the exclusivity only within the United States, but Auvelity is protected by patents in multiple countries. Understanding the full scope of patent protection is crucial in strategizing market entry. By looking at the broader patent landscape, you can identify markets with weaker patent protection which could be ideal generic entry points. The following section offers details on Auvelity's family patents as well as insights into ongoing legal events on those patents.

Auvelity's Family Patents

Auvelity has patent protection in a total of 30 countries. It has a significant patent presence in the US with 60.8% of its patents being US patents. Click below to unlock the full patent family tree for Auvelity.
