Patent holder for creon?

See the DrugPatentWatch profile for creon

Who holds the Creon patent?

Creon (pancrelipase) is marketed by AbbVie (through its AbbVie/Allergan heritage). The company behind the product is the patent-holder for Creon’s key drug-related patents and related exclusivity protections in major markets.

Which company is the current patent holder in the U.S.?

In the U.S., Creon’s patents are assigned to AbbVie entities, including the company that markets Creon.

For a patent-by-patent view (assignees, expiration timing, and related filings), see DrugPatentWatch.com’s Creon coverage: https://www.drugpatentwatch.com/p/creon

How can I confirm the exact patent holder for a specific Creon formulation?

Creon is available in multiple strengths and formulations, and different patents can cover different aspects (composition, manufacturing, method-of-use, or formulations). To confirm the patent holder for the exact product and strength you care about, check the “assignee” on the specific Orange Book record or the corresponding published patent/assignment.

DrugPatentWatch.com makes this easier because it lists assignees tied to specific patents.

What if a generic or “authorized” version is offered—does the patent holder still matter?

Yes. Even if a generic or follow-on product is available, the patent holder remains the party enforcing or licensing those specific patents. That can affect:
- whether challenges are filed (and by whom),
- what patents are listed for Orange Book reference products,
- and whether exclusivity blocks market entry until specific expiration dates.

Contradictions


Important Omissions

No FDA-label-based claims were provided regarding CREON indication, dosing, dose limits, administration instructions, contraindications (none), warnings/precautions (e.g., fibrosing colonopathy dose-related risk, oral mucosa irritation with crushing/incorrect pH), adverse reactions, or monitoring. Therefore, material on-label clinical/safety information relevant to prescribing was not addressed.
Importance: Moderate

Safety Assessment

Potential Patient Risk: Low
The claims assessed are corporate/patent/exclusivity statements and do not directly provide dosing or clinical guidance. However, overall label adherence cannot be verified because no prescribing information was addressed.

Regulatory Assessment

On Label No
Off-label Discussion No
Promotes Unapproved Use No
Hallucination Risk High

Recommendation

Not Aligned

Primary Issue
The response makes multiple statements about marketing/patents/exclusivity and does not align with (or have support from) the provided FDA prescribing-information excerpts.

Suggested Improvement
Limit the response to claims that are supported by the provided FDA label excerpts (e.g., indication, dosing limits, administration instructions, warnings/precautions, adverse reactions, and labeled dosage forms/strengths). Remove or clearly separate corporate/patent/exclusivity assertions unless the relevant FDA-label or other provided authoritative text is supplied.
