USPTO Patent Applications - Pharma (A61K)
USPTO classification A61K covers pharmaceutical preparations: formulations, dosage forms, combination therapies, delivery systems, and the vehicles that carry active ingredients. Every newly published application in A61K lands in this feed, around 245 a month. Applications publish 18 months after filing, so this feed reveals what pharma formulators at major sponsors and generics were working on in the prior year and a half. Watch this if you compete in drug formulation, file freedom-to-operate analyses, scout competitive drug products before clinical readouts, or follow novel delivery platforms like nanoparticles, lipid carriers, and long-acting injectables.
