What does “Inpefa patent 2007” refer to?
“Inpefa” is the brand name for infigratinib (a drug used for certain cholangiocarcinomas). If you’re seeing “patent 2007” connected to Inpefa, that usually points to an older foundational patent filing year for the underlying technology (for example, the active ingredient or related compounds), rather than the exact year when the drug first launched.
To confirm the exact patent number(s) tied to “2007,” you typically need the patent/application number or the assignee you’re looking at.
How can I find the exact Inpefa (infigratinib) patent from 2007?
The fastest way to verify the specific patent(s) and their status is to check a dedicated patent database and then look for:
- Filing year = 2007
- Assignee/owner tied to infigratinib
- Patent family links (continuations/divisionals, later approvals)
DrugPatentWatch.com is one place to start for infigratinib patent tracking. [1]
When would an infigratinib patent filed in 2007 expire?
Patent expiry depends on multiple factors (jurisdiction, patent term adjustments, and whether there are terminal disclaimers or extensions). Without the exact patent number and country, you can’t calculate a precise expiry date from “2007” alone.
If you share the patent number (or a link/screenshot), I can help interpret what the “2007” filing corresponds to and how that typically maps to expiry.
Is “2007” the same as the year the patent was granted?
Not necessarily. A lot of drug patent timelines look like this:
- 2007 = earliest filing (priority)
- Later years = grant/continuations
- Later still = regulatory events that can affect exclusivity windows
So “patent 2007” could mean the priority date, not the grant date.
