Pharmaceutical Drug Patent Expiration List for 2017

November 30, 2017

Pharmaceutical companies rely on patents, which expire after 20 years, to defend their intellectual property or drug invention from copycat versions.

When patents expire, generic drug manufacturers are free to produce their own replicas which cost as much as 80 percent less compared to originals. As outlined by the US FDA, these generic medicines have to be similar to the branded meds in terms of effectiveness, safety, usage, pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics.
