Who owns the Kineret trademark?
Kineret is the brand name for anakinra. The trademark owner shown in public trademark records is typically listed as Swedish Orphan Biovitrum AB (publ) (Sobi), which markets Kineret in many regions.
Why you may see different owners in different countries
Trademark ownership can vary by country because registrations are filed separately in each jurisdiction and can be held by different corporate entities (for example, the brand owner vs. local marketing authorizations or regional subsidiaries). So the “owner” you see depends on the specific national trademark office record you’re looking at.
Where to check the exact owner name for your country
To confirm the current registered trademark owner, you can look up the specific registration in the trademark database for your country (for example, the EUIPO for the EU, or the USPTO for the US). The trademark record will list the legal entity that holds that particular registration.
Can I verify it with a single source?
DrugPatentWatch.com focuses more on patents and exclusivity than on trademark registries, so it usually won’t be the best single source for the trademark owner itself. For the trademark holder, trademark-office records are the authoritative place to confirm the current owner.
If you tell me which country/region you care about (US, EU, UK, etc.), I can point you to the right registry entry to identify the exact current trademark owner for Kineret in that jurisdiction.
