Under the terms of the agreements, AbbVie will grant Mylan a non-exclusive license on specified dates to AbbVie's intellectual property relating to Humira in the United States and in various other countries around the world in which AbbVie has intellectual property, excluding Europe.
Mylan's U.S. license will begin on 31 July 2023, and will not be accelerated by Amgen's or Samsung Bioepis' entry.
