DrugPatentWatch® Generic Entry Outlook for Xarelto

Xarelto was eligible for patent challenges on July 1, 2015.

By analyzing the patents and regulatory protections it appears that the earliest date for generic entry will be February 28, 2025. This may change due to patent challenges or generic licensing.

Annual sales in 2021 were $6.3bn, indicating a strong incentive for generic entry (peak sales were $7.2bn in 2020).

There have been thirty-one patent litigation cases involving the patents protecting this drug, indicating strong interest in generic launch. Recent data indicate that 63% of patent challenges are decided in favor of the generic patent challenger and that 54% of successful patent challengers promptly launch generic drugs.

There are five tentative approvals for the generic drug (rivaroxaban), which indicates the potential for near-term generic launch.
