Use the Google Patents search bar and paste one of these:

Who owns the patent application (assignee) and what does it cover?
Google Patents typically shows:
- Assignee/applicant (the company or institution behind the filing)
- Inventors
- Priority date (the earliest filing date that the application claims)
- Abstract (what the invention is about)
- Claims (the legally protected scope)
- Related family members (other jurisdictions where the same invention was filed)
The specific “what it covers” depends on the claims in this application, so the most reliable way is to check the abstract and independent claims on Google Patents.
Is this the same as the key asciminib patents shown by DrugPatentWatch?

Why does this matter for “will it expire” or “can generics enter” questions?
WO publications are usually part of a broader family that may include national/regional patents with different timelines. Even if a WO application exists, exclusivity and enforceability often depend on:
- Which family members were granted
- Where they were granted (country-specific)
- Whether they were challenged or narrowed
- How regulatory exclusivity (not just patents) applies in each market
If you tell me the market you care about (US, EP, UK, etc.), I can help map what to check next on Google Patents and how that ties to exclusivity timing.
What to do if Google Patents shows multiple “WO2013171639” results
Sometimes multiple publications exist with similar numbers or related family members. Use the full “WO2013171639A1” identifier and then confirm:
- Publication date
- Applicant/assignee
