Patent Radar Assessment

Grade C1 United States · 2030 Radar
Verification HIGH
Why not A?

Not Grade A: the 2030 MEKTOVI patents US9850229 and US10005761 are method-of-use patents. The compound/composition Drug Substance/Drug Product patent US7777050 reaches its protection endpoint earlier.

Core Patent Expiry 2026-03-13
2030 Target Event US9850229
Method of Use · 2030-08-27
Core API Event? No
Later Blocking Patents

Yes. Additional MEKTOVI patent events continue beyond 2030, including 2031 and 2033.

Generic Entry Assessment

2030 is an indication/combination-use event rather than an API cliff. Generic entry analysis should consider skinny-label possibilities and combination-treatment claims.
