Aurinia Pharmaceuticals has settled a patent infringement dispute with Teva Pharmaceuticals, delaying the entry of Teva's generic version of Lupkynis in the US until December 2036, extending market exclusivity.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Biotech, and 2 sources have reported it between 21 Aug 2026 and 22 Aug 2026.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Patent battle outcomes now block generic entry for over a decade, locking in Aurinia's control of Lupkynis in the US. If you work in pharma IP or drug launch timing, realign your plans to this extended exclusivity window.
