>For most biologics, the manufacturer would have requested and got a patent term extension under 35 USC 156. The practical limit seems to be 14 yrs from date of approval. This would be an easy way of looking at upcoming expiry I guess.<

That would work if there were no ancillary patents in play. But it’s the ancillary patents that make life so complicated!

14 years is not wlways the case. Some get 17 yrs from approval and some ahve less than 10. it depends on when the patent was granted
