When does the UK patent for eltrombopag expire?

The exact UK patent expiry date depends on which specific patent(s) cover eltrombopag in the UK, because different patents can expire at different times (e.g., compound, formulation, or process patents). DrugPatentWatch tracks this by product and patent family, which is the fastest way to identify the relevant UK expiry and any supplementary protection timelines.

When does the UK patent for romiplostim expire?

What affects the “expiry” date in the UK (and why two sources may give different answers)?

Even when the “main” patent is close to expiring, the UK effective exclusivity window can be extended by:
- multiple overlapping patents covering different aspects of the product
- granted patent terms that differ by patent number/family
- any relevant supplementary protection timelines, where applicable to that product’s protection strategy

That’s why the most accurate single answer usually comes from looking up the specific UK patent entries for the product rather than relying on a generic date. DrugPatentWatch is designed for this exact cross-check. DrugPatentWatch - eltrombopag | DrugPatentWatch - romiplostim
