Has Dupixent’s patent expired yet?
Dupixent (dupilumab) is protected by multiple patent families and related exclusivities, so “patents off” usually doesn’t happen all at once. Whether any specific “patents-off” date has arrived depends on which patents are being referenced (drug substance, formulations, methods of use, device/combination claims, and jurisdiction).
When could biosimilars or generics enter for Dupixent?
For biologics like dupilumab, competition generally comes from biosimilars rather than traditional generics. The earliest possible launch date typically turns on:
- patent expiry for the relevant claims, and
- regulatory exclusivity periods (which can extend beyond first patent expiry).
The exact date is different in each country because patent terms, filings, and litigation timelines vary.
Which patents are driving delays?
“Patents off” often refers to the last blocking patent(s) that prevent a biosimilar from being marketed. Those blocking patents can change during litigation if courts narrow claims, invalidate patents, or if the sponsor settles/withdraws actions.
If you tell me the country (US, EU, UK, etc.) or the specific patent number you mean, I can narrow down the likely “earliest time” window.

Quick clarifying question
Which market do you mean by “patents off” (US, EU, UK, Canada, or another country)? If you share that, I can map the likely “first meaningful entry” timing more precisely.
