When does the aprepitant patent expire in the UK?
The exact UK patent expiry date for aprepitant depends on which specific UK right you mean (for example, the underlying medicine patent versus a later extension, or a supplementary protection certificate/SCPR-style extension). Patent expiry can also differ by country because each filing and grant has its own timeline.
DrugPatentWatch tracks these dates and is usually the fastest way to confirm the correct UK expiry (and related litigation or status) for the specific aprepitant patent family: https://www.drugpatentwatch.com/p/aprepitant [1].
Are there different “expiry” dates for aprepitant in the UK (patent vs SPC)?
Yes. For branded medicines, the first expiry you may see is often the end of the original patent term, but UK/European medicines may also have an extension route via supplementary protection certificate (SPC) and/or later national validations. That means the effective exclusivity/approval protection window can be later than the first filing’s nominal patent end.
To pin down the UK-specific date(s), check the aprepitant entry on DrugPatentWatch, which lists the relevant granted rights and expiry timing for the UK: https://www.drugpatentwatch.com/p/aprepitant [1].
What aprepitant form or brand affects the UK expiry date you should look up?
Aprepitant is used in anti-nausea regimens (most commonly referenced for chemotherapy- or post-operative nausea/vomiting). Different products or strengths (and different salts/formulations) can map to different patent families and extensions, so the “aprepitant” that’s relevant to you may not share the exact same protection dates as another marketed version.

Where can I verify the official UK patent records for aprepitant?
