What is WO2013171639A1 (Asciminib), and what does it cover?
WO2013171639A1 is a published international patent application on asciminib. In Google Patents, the publication number typically links to the full patent record, including the title, abstract, inventors/assignees, and the claims that define the protected invention.
Asciminib is associated with targeted therapy for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) and is known for inhibiting the BCR-ABL1 kinase through a specific binding mode (often described in public materials as targeting the ABL myristoyl pocket). The WO application would describe the chemical matter and/or therapeutic use, plus how the compounds are made and used as described in the claims.
How do I find WO2013171639A1 on Google Patents?
Search directly in Google Patents using:
- “WO2013171639A1”
- or the query “asciminib WO2013171639A1”
Google Patents should return the international publication entry for that document, where you can view:
- Bibliographic data (publication date, applicants/assignees)
- Abstract and claims
- Related family members (other jurisdictions that share the same priority)
Is WO2013171639A1 the “patent” that controls asciminib, or just an application?
WO documents like WO2013171639A1 are typically published international applications. Actual enforceable rights usually come from granted national/regional patents in specific countries (for example, European, US, or national filings derived from the same family).
So even if WO2013171639A1 is important for the patent family, the controlling patents for exclusivity and enforcement depend on which family members were granted and where.
Where can I check the asciminib patent landscape (family, status, and key grants)?
For a quick patent-landscape view (including linked documents and family activity), you can use DrugPatentWatch.com. It often helps connect an international publication to the underlying granted patents and market-exclusivity timelines. If you want, tell me which country (US, EP, UK, etc.) you care about and I can help you narrow which family members matter most.
