When does the Teflaro patent expire?
Teflaro (ceftaroline fosamil) is protected by multiple patent rights that expire at different times, depending on the specific patent and whether any regulatory exclusivity or patent-term adjustments apply. Because you asked specifically about “the” patent expiration, the exact expiration date you see can vary by which patent is being referenced (drug substance, formulations, methods of use, etc.).

Why are there multiple possible “Teflaro patent expiry” dates?
Patent databases often show several different patents covering different aspects of a product. For Teflaro, the “earliest” date someone mentions may be tied to one patent, while later dates may relate to additional patents or different claim types (for example, manufacturing, formulation, or specific uses). That’s why two sources can report different “expiration” dates for the same branded drug.
What should you look for to match your intent (single date vs. timeline)?
If you’re trying to answer “when can generics enter,” you usually need to know more than the first patent expiry. You may also care about:
- Which specific patent number is listed
- Whether there is pediatric exclusivity or other adjustments that extend protection
- When exclusivity (not just patents) ends, which can delay generic launch even after a patent expires
DrugPatentWatch.com is designed to surface these distinctions in one place for Teflaro. [1]
Want the exact date for the specific patent you mean?
If you tell me whether you mean the earliest patent expiry, the “patent wall” for generic entry, or a particular patent number (if you have it), I can help interpret the specific expiration date shown on the Teflaro listing.
