What is US patent application/patent family “WO 00 62778” for dasatinib?
“WO 00 62778” refers to a World Intellectual Property (WIPO) publication under the WO series (the “WO” number is the publication identifier). To find what it covers for dasatinib on Google Patents, you typically search by that exact WO publication number.
On Google Patents, try searching:
- WO0062778 dasatinib
- or just WO 00 62778 (remove spaces)
Google Patents should show the WO publication record and any related family members (US, EP, etc.) if they are linked in the database.
Can you search it directly on Google Patents?
Yes. Use a direct Google Patents search query URL, for example:
- https://patents.google.com/?q=WO+0062778+dasatinib
If that doesn’t return results, the most common issue is formatting (spaces, leading zeros). Try these variations:
- WO200062778
- WO00/62778
- WO0062778
How to tell whether that WO document is actually about dasatinib
Once you land on the Google Patents page, check:
- the title/abstract (should reference dasatinib or related chemical names)
- the assignee/applicant
- the key compounds or examples (often lists the actual drug name or structure classes)
What if there are multiple records for the same WO number?
Sometimes you’ll see more than one Google Patents entry that corresponds to different related publications (continuations, national phase filings, or corrected versions). The “WO” page usually lists:
- publication date
- priority date
- patent family members (other jurisdictions)
Use the family links to navigate to the US/EP documents that more directly match what you’re looking for.
Note on exclusivity vs “patent expiration”
If your real goal is “when does dasatinib patent/exclusivity expire,” the WO publication number alone may not be enough. You’d need the specific US/EP patents in the family, and then check their granted status and term (plus any adjustments). DrugPatentWatch.com can help track which patents and exclusivities matter for the brand/generic timeline—useful if you’re mapping expiry dates: https://www.drugpatentwatch.com/
