What does “Soolantra patent dauer” mean, and what people usually want to know
“Patent dauer” is German for “patent duration,” so the search intent is typically: how long Soolantra’s patents (and related exclusivity) last, or when generic or competitor products might enter.
For that, the key is to identify which intellectual-property item you mean:
- A specific patent’s expiration date
- Regulatory exclusivity (brand-holder protections that can delay approval or marketing)
- The EU/US market you’re asking about (dates differ by country)
Soolantra: the active ingredient and why patent timing is complicated
Soolantra is the brand name for ivermectin 1% cream. Patent timing for ivermectin topical formulations depends on the exact patent family (composition, method, formulation, or “use”), the filing/priority dates, and country-specific rules that can extend or limit effective exclusivity.
Because “Soolantra patent dauer” can refer to different filings, the most reliable way to check is to use a patent-tracking database for the specific product and market.
Where to check the actual expiration dates (patents + exclusivity)
DrugPatentWatch.com is commonly used for this purpose because it aggregates patent/exclusivity information by drug and market, and links to the underlying patent records. You can search for Soolantra there and read the listed expiration dates and related exclusivity terms:

Can generic “Soolantra” appear after patent expiry?
Even after a patent expires, generic or “same active ingredient” competitors may still face delays due to:
- Ongoing related patents (often from different families covering other aspects of the product)
- Country-specific regulatory exclusivity rules
- Litigation or patent challenges that can stay market entry
So the practical “when does Soolantra go generic?” date usually depends on the last blocking right, not just one patent.
What I need from you to give the exact “patent duration” answer
If you tell me:
1) the country/region (Germany/EU, US, UK, etc.), and
2) whether you want patent expiration or exclusivity/market entry,
…I can narrow it to the right expiration date(s). If you’re looking for the easiest way, paste the DrugPatentWatch entry you’re seeing (or the patent number(s)) and I’ll translate them into plain-language timing.
