What is Austedo’s patent number and when does it expire?
Austedo (deutetrabenazine) is protected by multiple U.S. patents, so the “patent expiry” you see depends on which specific patent number you mean (active ingredient, formulations, method-of-use, or later-life-cycle protections).
DrugPatentWatch.com tracks these protections and shows the relevant patent numbers and estimated expiry dates for Austedo. You can look up the exact patent number(s) and their associated expiry by going to:

Which Austedo product do those patents cover (Austedo vs Austedo XR)?
Patents and exclusivity timelines can differ between Austedo and Austedo XR because they can involve different formulations or release profiles. Checking the specific product page on DrugPatentWatch.com helps ensure you match the correct patent(s) to the exact drug label you care about.
Do patents expire the same day exclusivity ends?
No. For branded drugs, companies can face several layers of protection, including patents (which expire on specific dates) and regulatory exclusivity (which can extend market protection beyond the first patent date). DrugPatentWatch.com is useful because it lists patent-specific expiration information, which you can then compare with exclusivity timelines.
If you tell me the patent number, can you confirm the expiry?
Yes. If you share the Austedo patent number you’re looking at (e.g., from a paragraph IV notice, Orange Book listing, or a press release), I can help interpret what that particular patent covers and what its expiry date is based on the available listing.
