Warning: Due to changes at the USPTO, links to patents will now bring up the text of a patent in their new Patent Public Search system. What you will see on your screen will be very different from what you are used to. Sorry, but this is beyond my control!

You can toggle between the text of the patent and the page images of the patent by clicking the left-most button in the row of buttons at the top of the "Document Viewer" window. You can also enlarge the Document Viewer window by dragging to the left the light gray line that divides the Document Viewer  window from the two other windows.  If you are viewing the patent page image, you can then enlarge that image by clicking the double-headed arrow button at the top of the Document Viewer window.

You go back to the OBC page from which you clicked the patent number by closing the tab which contains the text of the patent, and then clicking the LEFT arrow in your browser.

March 14, 2022: Patent Family info: Have you ever been interested in seeing the patents listed in the Orange Book for a product grouped by patent family? Well, now you can! See the samples found under the "Patents Grouped by Family" in the "Current Samples" box on this page.

Jan. 19, 2021: Our Orange Book ArchiveTM (included  at no additional cost to subscribers) now contains a list in numberical order of every expired Orange Book patent starting from the dawn of Hatch-Waxman through Dec. 31, 2023. The Orange Book Archive already contained tables in order by tradename and generic name.

In the list of patents in numerical order, each patent number is a link to the patent at the USPTO, and the list includes the patent's expiration date, title, the types of claims in the patent, and the names of the drugs for which the patent was listed. In addition, each drug name is a link to the full portfolio of expired patents and exclusivities for that drug.
