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 Rinvoq's patents.

FDA has granted several exclusivities to Rinvoq. Till the time these exclusivities are active, no other company can market a generic or bioequivalent version of Rinvoq, regardless of the status of it's patents. These exclusivities hence play a crucial role in delaying the generic launch. Given below are details of the exclusivities granted to Rinvoq.
Exclusivity Information
Rinvoq holds 9 exclusivities out of which 2 have expired. Its last outstanding exclusivity is set to expire in 2031. Details of Rinvoq's exclusivity codes and their expiration dates are given below.

Several oppositions have been filed on Rinvoq'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 Rinvoq's generic, the next section provides detailed information on ongoing and past EP oppositions related to Rinvoq patents.
Rinvoq's Oppositions Filed in EPO
Rinvoq has faced multiple oppositions in the European Patent Office. The earliest opposition was filed on Feb 16, 2018, by Generics (U.K.) Limited. This opposition was filed on patent number EP10835061A. Click below to reveal the latest opposition data.

US patents provide insights into the exclusivity only within the United States, but Rinvoq 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 Rinvoq's family patents as well as insights into ongoing legal events on those patents.
