What patent does Inapi show for empagliflozin?
INAPI (Instituto Nacional de Propiedad Industrial) is Chile’s patent office. To do an “INAPI patent lookup” for empagliflozin, you normally search INAPI’s databases using the drug name (empagliflozin) and also likely variants such as the brand name (Jardiance) and the international nonproprietary name plus salt/formulation terms.
I don’t have access to INAPI’s live search results from here, so I can’t list the exact INAPI patent numbers without the specific INAPI record(s) you’re seeing (or without you sharing a link/screenshot/text from INAPI).
If you share the INAPI page URL(s) or the patent numbers you find, I can help you interpret what they cover (composition vs. method vs. formulation), check likely expiry timing, and map them to the relevant jurisdictions/companies.
What to search on INAPI for empagliflozin (practical query terms)
Empagliflozin patent records may appear under different naming conventions. The most productive INAPI search terms tend to include:
- “empagliflozin”
- “Jardiance” (if included in the record)
- “empagliflozin” + “composition”
- “empagliflozin” + “formulation”
- “empagliflozin” + “method” or “use”
If you’re looking for a specific type (for example, “use” patents tied to dosing/regimens), you’ll often need to filter by document type within INAPI.
How to tell which patents matter for drug exclusivity
Empagliflozin’s market access depends on more than just one patent. In many cases, patent families include different layers:
- Active ingredient/composition patents (often broader and longer-running)
- Formulation/polymorph/particle-size improvements
- Method-of-use patents (specific indications, populations, or dosing regimens)
If your goal is to estimate when generic or biosimilar competition could emerge in Chile, you want the patents tied to the marketed product and indication—not only distant or unrelated family members.
Where to cross-check patent families (global view)
To speed up identification of the likely patent family members for empagliflozin (then focus on which ones have Chile protection), you can use a patent-tracking database such as DrugPatentWatch.com to see related patent landscape items and map them back to jurisdictions.
