Overview of US Patent 11,142,528

US Patent 11,142,528, granted on October 26, 2021, is assigned to a pharmaceutical innovator. The patent covers innovations in a specific therapeutic compound, method of use, or formulation related to a drug candidate, with claims tailored to protect particular chemical entities and their application.

Scope of the Patent

Core Aspects

• Chemical Composition: The patent claims a novel molecular structure or a class of compounds with specific substitutions enhancing efficacy, stability, or bioavailability.
• Method of Use: It encompasses methods for treating certain diseases or conditions, such as cancers or autoimmune disorders, using the claimed compound.
• Formulation and Administration: Claims specify optimized formulations, including dosage forms, delivery mechanisms, or combinations with other agents.
• Prodrug and Derivative Claims: Some claims extend to prodrugs, metabolites, or derivatives of the core compound, broadening protection.

Limitations

• The patent confines its claims to specific chemical structures and their use within a defined therapeutic area.
• Claims exclude broader classes of similar compounds unless explicitly included.
• It emphasizes the novelty over prior art through specific substitutions and structural configurations.

Patent Claims Analysis

Independent Claims

• Cover a particular chemical compound with defined substituents at certain positions.
• Describe methods for synthesizing the compound.
• Encompass therapeutic methods involving the compound for specific indications.

Dependent Claims

• Include narrower claims specifying particular substituents, stereochemistry, or dosage ranges.
• Extend coverage to specific formulations, such as oral tablets, injectable solutions, or topical preparations.
• Cover methods of combination therapy with other drugs.

Claim Language

• Uses precise chemical nomenclature aligned with IUPAC standards.
• Employs "comprising" language allowing for additional elements or steps.
• Limits claims to specific embodiments to avoid broad invalidation risks.

Patent Landscape

Competitor Patents and Related Literature

• The landscape features numerous patents filed by competitors focusing on related chemical scaffolds and therapeutic targets.
• Prior art includes earlier patents on similar compounds, but the unique substitutions claimed provide infringement defenses.
• Patent family documents show filings across multiple jurisdictions, indicating global strategic scope.
