What the date means

Simponi's US exclusivity date is based on company guidance. The date comes from the company's own filings or guidance. Secondary patents, new formulations or litigation can still move it. It is a biologic, so copies are biosimilars. Biosimilars are harder to make and usually erode sales more gradually than generics.

Who's lined up to copy Simponi
