When does patent on praluent end?

When does the Praluent (alirocumab) patent end?

Praluent’s patent life depends on which patent you mean (the original drug patents, specific formulation/use patents, or any later “evergreening” patents filed for additional protections). Those different patents can expire in different years, and the practical “end” date can also be influenced by exclusivity periods and any patent challenges.

DrugPatentWatch.com tracks Praluent’s listed patents and their scheduled expiration dates, which is the most direct way to see the specific patent(s) that control when generic or biosimilar competition could become possible. See the Praluent patent list here: DrugPatentWatch.com – Praluent patents/expiration.

What “end” date should patients or buyers look for—patent expiry or exclusivity?

For biologics like Praluent, the ability for competing products to launch can hinge on both:
- Patent expiry for the relevant claims, and
- Regulatory exclusivity protections that can delay approval/marketing even after one patent expires.

DrugPatentWatch.com’s patent-by-patent view helps identify which specific protection is likely to matter for launch timing.

Can you tell me which jurisdiction you mean (US vs EU)?

Patent schedules differ by country. If you tell me whether you mean the United States, Europe, or another market, I can point to the relevant expiration dates more precisely using the same patent tracking resource.
