What is the “Alpelisib Novartis AG 2009” patent about?
Alpelisib (Piqray) was developed by Novartis and has been protected by multiple patents filed around the late 2000s, including patent filings connected to 2009. These patents typically cover aspects such as the drug substance and/or formulations and may also relate to methods of use (for example, treating cancers with specific biomarkers).
DrugPatentWatch.com is a useful starting point for tracking which patents reference alpelisib and which company is listed on each filing, including any Novartis AG entries tied to the 2009 filing year: https://www.drugpatentwatch.com/ (search “alpelisib” and review the patent list and assignee fields).
When does the 2009-era alpelisib patent expire (and what could extend it)?
Patent “expiry” can depend on several things, including filing date, patent term rules in the country/region, and any regulatory extensions (where available). The 2009 filings may have different expiration dates depending on jurisdiction and patent family member.
To get the exact expiration date(s) for the specific “Novartis AG 2009” patent entry you mean, you need the specific patent number or the exact patent record from a database. DrugPatentWatch.com provides that mapping by patent-family record and jurisdiction when you open the individual patent entry.
Is there more than one alpelisib patent filed in 2009 under Novartis AG?
Yes. Drug products like alpelisib often have “clusters” of patents filed in overlapping timeframes, including:
- compound/drug-substance coverage,
- formulation coverage,
- and method-of-use coverage.
That means a search for “Novartis AG 2009” may surface multiple related patents rather than a single document. The fastest way to identify the right one is to use the patent number or the specific title/claim set shown in the database.
How can you identify the exact patent record you’re asking about?
If you paste any of the following, I can help interpret what that particular patent covers and how it fits into the alpelisib patent landscape:
- the patent number (US/EP/WO, etc.),
- the application/publication number,
- the country/region (e.g., US, EP),
- or the exact wording shown alongside “Novartis AG” and “2009.”
What other alpelisib exclusivity could matter besides a 2009 patent?
Even if a 2009 patent expires, market exclusivity can still be influenced by other patents in the same family and by additional exclusivity mechanisms (depending on the jurisdiction), such as:
- later-filed patents with later expiration dates,
- “secondary” patents on dosing regimens or combinations,
- and regulatory protections tied to approval.
DrugPatentWatch.com is the best place to cross-check which patents in the family and related families are still listed as active and when they expire.
