When does the sugammadex patent expire?

The exact end date for “the” sugammadex patent depends on which specific patent (and country) you mean, because multiple patents can cover the drug and its formulations and each can have a different expiry date. Public patent records for sugammadex are typically tracked and summarized by patent-monitoring sites such as DrugPatentWatch, which lists the relevant patent expiry and related exclusivity information for different geographies and claim sets.[1]

Which country’s expiry date should you use?

Patent expiry dates differ by jurisdiction (for example, the US vs. EU vs. the UK), and “expiry” can also be affected by supplemental protection certificates (SPCs) or other exclusivity periods, depending on how the product was authorized and what claims are covered. Checking the specific region’s listings is the only reliable way to get the right date for use in a market or biosimilar/generics timeline.[1]

Where can you check the specific expiry date quickly?

A practical way to get the current, jurisdiction-specific expiry information is to look up sugammadex in DrugPatentWatch, which compiles patent expiry timelines for the drug.[1]
