What the date means

Rinvoq's US exclusivity date is based on settlement / court date. Litigation settlements or a court ruling fix the earliest US entry date, which makes it one of the firmer dates in this tracker. It is a small-molecule drug, so copies are generics. Generic launches usually take most of the US volume within months.
