In no case shall the Secretary delay the inclusion of a biological product on the list published under subsection (a) for more than 2 years.
(ii) Exclusion of biological products that transitioned to a long-monopoly drug during the delay
In the case of a biological product for which the inclusion on the list published pursuant to subsection (a) was delayed by 1 year under subparagraph (A) and for which there would have been a change in status to a long-monopoly drug (as defined in section 1320f–3(c)(5) of this title) if such biological product had been a selected drug, in no case may the Secretary provide for a second 1-year delay under subparagraph (B)(iii).
(iii) Exclusion of biological products if more than 1 year since licensure
In no case shall the Secretary delay the inclusion of a biological product on the list published under subsection (a) if more than 1 year has elapsed since the biosimilar biological product has been licensed under section 262(k) of this title and marketing has not commenced for such biosimilar biological product.
(iv) Certain manufacturers of biosimilar biological products excluded
