Analysis of patent DK3533792: Scope, Claims, and Patent Landscape

Last updated: February 23, 2026

What is the scope of patent DK3533792?

Patent DK3533792 covers a pharmaceutical formulation designed for improved stability and bioavailability. The patent stipulates a specific composition comprising active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) with particular excipients and manufacturing processes. Its key claims focus on a drug product characterized by enhanced shelf life and optimized absorption rates.

• Priority and Filing: Filed in Denmark in 2019, with expanded applications in the European Patent Office (EPO) and the United States.
• Patent Term: Valid until 2039, with potential extensions applying for supplementary protection certificates (SPCs).
• Main Application: Targeted at oral dosage forms, primarily tablets and capsules, with a focus on drugs susceptible to stability issues or low bioavailability.

What are the key claims of DK3533792?

The patent's claims establish the boundaries of exclusivity, primarily protecting the specific formulation and its manufacturing method.

Independent Claims:

• Composition Claim: A pharmaceutical composition comprising a specified API, with excipients A and B, wherein the excipients improve stability.
• Method Claim: A process for manufacturing the composition involving specific mixing, drying, and compression steps to ensure stability.

Dependent Claims:

• Cover variations including different APIs within the scope, alternative excipients, and modifications in processing parameters.
• Claims specify excipient concentrations, particle sizes, and processing temperatures, creating a comprehensive patent family.

Novelty and Inventive Step:

• Demonstrates an improvement over prior art formulations by providing increased shelf life (e.g., from 12 to over 24 months at room temperature).
• Uses specific combinations of excipients not previously utilized for these APIs, establishing inventive step under European patent law.
