The LOE catalog holds 800 patent-expiry rows across major regulated markets. The 2026 window opens with peginesatide (June) and steps through famotidine (July, $24M trade), sugammadex (July), pantoprazole (December, $103M trade). 2027 brings ropivacaine, mipomersen, oxcarbazepine (11 active patents remaining). Olaparib's window opens in 2027 with the active patent stack still in the high single digits. The feed below carries the next twelve material windows.

How it works

01

Pick the window.

Default surface is the next 24 months across all markets. Scope to a specific market (US, EU, BR), a therapy area, or a portfolio of molecules in development.

The AI agent matches windows to trade.

Each patent expiry is joined to current global trade size, active patent count, and (where available) the active DMF holder count. Three signals per window.

Citation-anchored brief with the priority windows, the FTO complexity (active patent count), and the supplier readiness (active DMFs). Handoff to portfolio prioritisation.

Why a portfolio lead runs it

Calendar-aware portfolio sequencing.

Two-year forward window.

Patent expiries 18 to 24 months out are the actionable ones for ANDA filing or in-licensing. Closer-in windows are too late; further-out windows are not yet portfolio-ready.

Trade size sized.

Each LOE window carries the molecule's current global trade size as the commercial signal. A $100M trade window matters; a $0.3M trade window typically does not justify the entry cost.

Active patent overlay.

A molecule with one active patent has a clean FTO path; a molecule with 11 active patents (oxcarbazepine, diclofenac) carries litigation risk. The brief surfaces both numbers per window.

Supplier readiness check.

Active US DMF count signals whether API supply will be ready at LOE. Zero DMFs is the reshoring or licensing trigger; many DMFs is the crowded-entry warning.

The next 24 months carry twelve material LOE windows in the US market. Pantoprazole leads at $103M of 2024 trade with the latest patent expiring 7 December 2026 and just two active patents remaining, the cleanest large-trade window on the horizon. Famotidine sits at $24M with five active patents (heavier FTO). Ropivacaine and sugammadex are specialty windows. Olaparib's window opens in 2027 and is a multi-patent stack; the active DMF base (25 US-active) signals a crowded entry once the window opens. The brief recommends prioritising pantoprazole and ropivacaine for immediate ANDA filing acceleration.

The LOE calendar is the forward-looking portfolio sequencing feed. PharmaDB matches every patent expiry to current global trade size, active patent count, and active DMF coverage, and surfaces the priority windows in chronological order. The view is v_loss_of_exclusivity; the joins are to molecule_country_flow and api_docs.

FAQ

Frequently asked

What goes into the LOE catalog?+

Each molecule-market pair with at least one active patent and a defined latest-patent-expiry date. The underlying view is v_loss_of_exclusivity. US is the primary surface; EU and BR market windows are also tracked.

Why does olaparib show 2027 even though it's already on patent?+

LOE refers to the latest patent expiry on the standard 20-year-from-filing horizon. Olaparib's earliest patents expired earlier; the latest patent in the stack is the actionable date for clean FTO. The brief surfaces the latest expiry as the LOE window.

What counts as a high-priority window?+

A patent expiry in the next 18 to 24 months combined with at least $25M of 2024 global trade and an active patent count under 5. Pantoprazole is the textbook fit on the current calendar.

How does this connect to limited-competition targets?+

Limited-competition targets identifies molecules with little ANDA activity right now. The LOE calendar is the forward-looking version: which molecules will open up an entry window in the next 24 months. Run as a paired view for portfolio sequencing.

Are EU and Brazil LOE windows covered?+

Yes. The market filter on v_loss_of_exclusivity covers US, EU, and BR. Other regulated markets are added as patent registry coverage expands. The brief surfaces the market on each window.

How fresh is the data?+

Patent registry refreshes monthly. LOE windows recompute on every refresh. The catalog row carries the last-computed timestamp surfaced on every result page.
