Patent expiry of TAF

Hi,

Just a question, when does the patent of TAF expires ? Who knows ? I found conflicting information online. Patent Expiry makes drugs cheaper.

Hi all, I read that technically TAF expires 2022, however, 8 additional secondary patents could be used by Gilead to extend the patent life to 2036. Here’s the link. So I agree it’s unclear how long until it becomes a generic drug! Always, Joan

Yes big pharma wanting to make as much profit as possible, human lives is of secondary importance, then again researching costs a lot of money, there should some kind of fund to make meds cheaper.
