What is US7803839B2 (and why it shows up in cobimetinib searches)?
US7803839B2 is a U.S. patent assigned to Exelixis. People searching “US7803839B2 exelixis cobimetinib patent pdf” are usually looking for either (1) a downloadable PDF of the patent document or (2) confirmation that the patent relates to cobimetinib (or a closely related compound, salt, formulation, or method claim).
To get the exact patent PDF, the fastest path is to use a patent-document site that provides the official document scan/PDF and bibliographic data (assignee, inventors, filing dates, etc.).
Where can I get the US7803839B2 PDF?
Use the patent number as the direct lookup key on:
- Google Patents (search by “US7803839B2”) to open the patent page and download/view the document/PDF.
- The USPTO Patent Center/Patent Full-Text and Image Database (search by the publication/patent number) for official images.
If you want, paste the patent link or the bibliographic details you found (publication number, title, or assignee), and I can help verify whether it specifically covers cobimetinib-related subject matter.
How to check whether this patent actually covers cobimetinib (not just Exelixis broadly)
Even when a patent is assigned to the same company, it may cover:
- the specific compound (cobimetinib),
- a salt/form of the compound,
- a formulation,
- dosing regimens,
- or a related kinase target and therapeutic method.
The practical way to confirm is to open the document and search within the claims/specification text for “cobimetinib” (or its chemical name, synonyms, or structural identifiers). Claim language is the key signal because exclusivity and infringement analysis turn on claims, not only the background/specification.
