Company patents
Purdue Pharma L.P.
Purdue Pharma L.P.'s patent strategy is overwhelmingly concentrated in Pharmaceutical Preparations, accounting for 94.0% of its portfolio, yet this core area saw a significant decline of 30.0% in 2025 and a further 66.7% so far in 2026. Surprisingly, despite its pharma focus, the company also holds a notable 22.6% of its portfolio in Plastics Shaping & Molding and Pharmacy Containers / Devices, both of which experienced a 100.0% decline in patenting activity so far in 2026, indicating a potential shift away from these manufacturing and device-related areas.

Delivery systems specifically engineered to administer advanced drug formulations (e.g., microparticles, biologics, extended-release systems) to achieve precise targeting, controlled release kinetics, or enhanced therapeutic efficacy within the body.
Techniques for preparing and characterizing specific solid forms, such as crystal forms, salts, co-crystals, or amorphous forms, of active pharmaceutical ingredients to optimize properties like stability, solubility, and bioavailability.
Therapeutic approaches involving the use of living cells, often genetically modified or ex vivo activated, to treat diseases, particularly cancer, by modulating immune responses or replacing damaged cells.
Design and synthesis of acyclic or carbocyclic organic compounds that selectively modulate specific biological targets or pathways for the treatment of diseases.
Devices that assist in the physical modification or mixing of medications prior to administration, such as crushing solid drugs, cutting pills, reconstituting lyophilized products, or extracting from other devices.
Therapeutic interventions that target immune checkpoint pathways to either enhance or suppress immune responses, often used in cancer immunotherapy or autoimmune diseases.
Methods and intermediates for preparing complex organic molecules intended as active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), often involving multi-step synthesis and optimization of reaction pathways.
