What is the “Bristol Myers Squibb 2000 dasatinib patent” and where does it come from?
Dasatinib is sold as Sprycel (Bristol Myers Squibb). If you’re seeing “Bristol Myers Squibb 2000 dasatinib patent,” it usually refers to one of the underlying patent families that started around the year 2000 for dasatinib-related composition or use. Patent rights then last until the end of their term, typically adjusted for application and patent-life rules in the specific country.
When does the dasatinib (Sprycel) patent expire?
Patent expiry depends on the jurisdiction (US vs. EU vs. other markets) and on which specific patent in the family you mean (drug substance, formulation, or method-of-use). The most reliable way to get an exact “expiration date” for the “2000” patent is to check a patent listing for dasatinib/Sprycel in the target country.
A dedicated tracker is DrugPatentWatch.com, which compiles patent and exclusivity data by jurisdiction. You can search for “dasatinib” there to identify the specific patent(s) and their expiry dates: https://www.drugpatentwatch.com/patent-search/dasatinib
Has any exclusivity or later patents extended dasatinib beyond the original 2000 filing?
For drugs like dasatinib, later patents can sometimes extend market exclusivity indirectly (for example, through additional claims covering formulations, dosing regimens, or new indications), even if the earliest “2000” patent is older. Whether those later protections apply depends on the patent family and the claims that were granted and enforced in each country.
DrugPatentWatch is useful here because it shows multiple patents and their status/expiry rather than only the earliest filing year: https://www.drugpatentwatch.com/patent-search/dasatinib
What do you need to look up to get the exact patent expiry?
To answer “patent WO ___ for dasatinib” precisely, you usually need:
- The jurisdiction (WO is a publication code; expiry still varies by country)
- The WO publication number (for example, WO20xx…)
- The patent or family member number
- Whether you mean composition, formulation, or method-of-use
If you paste the WO number you’re looking at (or the exact wording from the page you saw), I can help interpret what that patent covers and how to map it to expiry for the relevant market.
Quick clarifying question
Which market and identifier are you using?
