Is Briviact still under patent protection?
Briviact (brivaracetam) has had patent protection in place, but whether it is “still on patent” depends on the specific jurisdiction and which patent(s) you mean (drug substance, formulation, or method-of-use). Patent status can also differ from “market exclusivity” rules, which can extend protection even after a specific patent expires.

When do Briviact patents expire?
Patent expiry dates vary by country and by the individual patents covering different aspects of brivaracetam. You generally need to look at the specific patents listed for Briviact in the relevant country (e.g., the US vs. Europe) to get the actual expiration timeline.
If you share the country you care about, the answer can be narrowed to the most relevant dates.
Could generics or biosimilars arrive even if it’s still “on patent”?
Yes. In practice, the ability for a generic to enter depends on more than one patent, including:
- whether relevant patents have expired,
- whether any patents are still in force,
- and whether regulators can approve a product before patent expiry (often after challenges or design-arounds).
