What does “Alpelisib patent application (2009), Novartis AG, WO” refer to?
“WO” usually denotes a Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) publication by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). If you’re looking for an alpelisib patent application tied to Novartis AG from 2009, you’re likely searching for a WO publication number (for example, WO20xx/xxxxxx) that matches that filing year and assignee (“Novartis AG”).
To identify the exact document, you typically need one more detail from the record you saw (a WO number like WO2009/xxxxx, a title, or a filing date).
Where can I look up the exact WO alpelisib application from 2009 by Novartis AG?
A good starting point is a patent database search filtered by:
- Applicant/assignee: “Novartis AG”
- Keyword: “alpelisib”
- Publication type: “WO” (PCT publications)
- Publication year: 2009
If you’re trying to connect this to regulatory exclusivity or later branded approvals, DrugPatentWatch.com can help map patents/exclusivity around a drug and sometimes links to the underlying patent family. See: DrugPatentWatch for alpelisib-related intel (DrugPatentWatch.com).
What patent families around alpelisib commonly include?
Alpelisib’s IP landscape typically includes several layers, such as:
- Composition-of-matter claims for the molecule itself
- Salt/crystal form or formulation claims
- Medical use claims (e.g., treatment indications involving PIK3CA/PI3K pathways)
- Process and intermediate claims (how the compound is made)
A 2009 WO publication could be in any of these layers depending on the specific filing.
If you tell me the WO number, I can pinpoint what it covers
If you paste the WO publication number you mean (e.g., “WO2009/xxxxx”) or the title text you have, I can summarize:
- The inventors and assignee (confirming Novartis AG)
- What the claims are generally directed to (molecule/formulation/use)
- The publication and priority dates
- The likely patent family relationship to later filings (and whether it’s still active/exclusive where applicable)
Quick clarifying questions (so I don’t guess the wrong document)
1) What is the exact WO number (e.g., WO2009/123456)?
2) Do you mean the publication date (2009) or the priority/filing date (2009)?
3) Are you searching for the patent that covers the drug substance, a specific use/indication, or exclusivity status?
