Is US20100160340A1 an abemaciclib patent, and how to verify quickly
To confirm whether US20100160340A1 is an abemaciclib-related patent, check three fields on Google Patents:
- Assignee/applicant (e.g., companies connected to abemaciclib such as Eli Lilly and Company and/or its partners).
- Abstract and first claim (do they mention abemaciclib, CDK4/6, or the same chemical scaffold spelled out in the abemaciclib patent family?).
- Patent family links (Google Patents shows related publications; if the family connects to known abemaciclib filings, it’s likely part of the same IP set).
How abemaciclib patents usually group together (so you can map the right family)
Abemaciclib’s patent landscape typically includes multiple kinds of filings, often within the same patent family or related families:
- Compound/chemical structure coverage
- Formulations (including particular solid forms)

- Process/manufacturing claims (depending on the family)
If US20100160340A1 is in a family that includes those same claim types for abemaciclib, it’s more likely to matter to abemaciclib exclusivity.
