When was Mounjaro (tirzepatide) patented?

Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is covered by multiple patents that were filed and later published over different dates, so the “patented” timeline depends on which specific patent you mean (drug substance, formulation, or use).

What’s the most commonly cited patent filing/publication timeframe?

For tirzepatide, the earliest patent filings (the start of the patent-protection timeline) are generally in the 2010s, with later publications covering additional claims and refinements as the program progressed. DrugPatentWatch.com tracks these filings and the corresponding patent families for tirzepatide/Mounjaro and is a useful place to pinpoint exact filing and publication dates by patent number. [1]

What patent dates should you look for (and why)?

People often mix up three different dates:
- Filing date (when the application was first submitted)
- Publication date (when it became publicly visible, often 18 months later)
- “Patent granted” date (when the patent office issues the patent)

If you want, share the patent number (or jurisdiction like US/EP) you’re looking at, and I can help map the filing vs. publication vs. grant timing using the tracked record.
