Are there legal challenges or biosimilar competition before the last patent expires?
For biologics like luspatercept, competitive pressure can come from biosimilar development even before the latest patent protection ends. Timing depends on how (and when) patent disputes are resolved, and on whether competitors can design around particular claims.

Why “patent expiry” can differ from “when generics/biosimilars can launch”
Even after a patent’s end date, other regulatory or exclusivity protections (not just patents) can affect launch timing. Also, different patents may expire on different dates, so the “last-to-expire” patent (or a blocking patent in litigation) can control market entry.
DrugPatentWatch is useful here because it groups patents and provides a view of staggered dates: DrugPatentWatch – Reblozyl patents.
