EAPO Improves Access to Pharmaceutical Patent Information

The Eurasian Patent Organization (EAPO) has upgraded its Pharmaceutical Register, making it easier for users to search for and analyze patent information relating to medicinal products.

One of the key improvements is the introduction of an English-language interface alongside the Russian version. The updated platform also offers expanded search options and a new tool allowing users to examine patent claims associated with a particular International Nonproprietary Name (INN) or active pharmaceutical ingredient.

The EAPO Pharmaceutical Register provides access to information on Eurasian patents and national patents of the EAPO member states covering pharmaceutical inventions, including chemical and biological substances, pharmaceutical compositions, medical applications, manufacturing processes. Patents are entered into the database following an expert assessment of their relevance to a particular INN.

The Register also enables users to check the legal status and duration of patent protection, including term extensions, as well as information concerning registered medicinal products and licensing agreements.

The enhanced functionality may be particularly useful for assessing the patent landscape in the pharmaceutical sector, addressing patent-related disputes and reviewing patent protection issues in connection with public procurement and competition matters.
