patent strategy general

As soon as possible:

• How likely is competition? Danger of patent filing by competitors or publication

• Observe patent strategy of competitors

As soon as necessary:

• estimate development time (<20yrs?)

• Development projection:satisfy 18m to disclosure?

• Is the market ready?

Advantages:

- Flexibility

- Competitors long in the dark

- Developments of the invention can be used for drafting more precise claims

- Diversion divisional applications

- DE: “Branch off” of utility model from pending application

- …

Disadvantages:-Filed vs. granted patents in patent statistics (portfolio value, stakeholder)-Poorer legal position in case of infringement-Utility patents not for procedures, methods

Differences to technical patents:

- Long development time (10 – 20 yrs.)

- Long product cycle (30 yrs. or more)

- High costs of development (NCE 500- 1000 Mio. €)

- High value of single invention

- High risk

- Special IPR for use („medical use“)

- Registration procedure necessary

- SPCs / term extensions

where

Due to high investment: broad protection necessary

First filing national (to win priority year), PCT focussed to:

• Developed countries (potential production sites)

• Market (with premium price!)

• Countries where patent protection influences sales price (e.g. EU, CN)

Costs for filing + prosecution often of secondary interest

Often > 20 countries

Reason:

• competitors will use regional patent gaps as high profit margins give good opportunities, even if the market is limited to small countries.

• Reduce development/production in "patent-free countries“ –changed situation in China, India (Israel)

• Expensive development + authorization procedure must be recouped through worldwide revenues.

Life Cycle Management usually begins shortly after 1. M.A.Reason: term of basic patent after M.A. often only 5-10 y. protection, with SPC up to 15 years (+ possibly. 6m)

Possibilities:Formulation patents (for example, 3 * times/d 1 * daily,

capsule effervescent tablet)New routes of administration: tablet, injection, suppositories

Identification of additional effects

Structural variants: Salts

Hydrates /Solvates

Pure enantiomers instead of racemates

First development must be launched quickly, but is often not "ideal" form of the active ingredient.

Salt form:Active compounds usually „large“ organic molecules which are sufficiently soluble only as a salt. Salt partners crucial for stability, solubility, pharmaceutical workability

Patenting of new galenic formulation

Pharmaceutical formulation affects:Compatibility (as altered side effect profile with a slower rise in level)Duration (1 * daily instead of 3 * day)Potency (better bioavailability - 300mg instead of 1000 mg)Durability (3 years instead of two years)Administration (tablet instead syringe)

New formulations often have therapeutic benefits and higher patient complianceTo block generics, old formulations are taken off the market, dropping the original marketing authorisation.

Example Omeprazole Prilosec vs. Antra MUPS®

MUPS = Multiple Unit Pellet System. Antra MUPS® tablets are compressed from small enteric coated pellets that disintegrate rapidly on contact with fluid better bioavailability.

Omeprazole MUPS® EP1078628 (filed 1995, rev. 2014), launched 1998,generic competition for old formulation starting ‘99 (Hexal, Ratiopharm)

Drug is chemically modified (covalent bond).

Derivative is cleaved before / during / after absorption releasing the active substance.

Benefits in bioavailability and pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics

Is usually regarded as NCEs

Examples: EPO vs. PEG-EPO, PPIs (Sulfinylbenzimidazole), valacyclovir, fosamprenavir, esters of steroids, insulin derivatives,…
