This patent portfolio encompasses a large and strategically significant body of intellectual property covering prodrug technologies directed to opioid and pain therapeutics, including formulations with potential abuse-deterrent properties. The assets span multiple opioid classes—such as oxycodone, hydrocodone, hydromorphone, oxymorphone, and combination products—and protect methods for modifying pharmacokinetics, improving safety profiles, and addressing misuse while preserving therapeutic efficacy. With broad geographic coverage across major global markets and priority dates extending back to 2009, the portfolio represents foundational IP in opioid reformulation and next-generation pain management. These technologies are highly relevant to pharmaceutical companies seeking defensive protection, lifecycle extension, and differentiated pain products in the multi-billion-dollar opioid and abuse-deterrent therapeutics market.
