: Philip Brooks’ Patent Infringement Updates$29 Billion Reasons to Litigate?
By Philip Brooks
Duncan Bucknell of IP Thinktank Blog wrote in his post yesterday, February 20, 2008:
The most successful IP strategies in the pharma industry are often aggressive. They have to be.
US $29 Billion in drugs come off patent this year - however that's the innovators' current markets - these products will all have multiple generic suppliers on patent expiry, and so with price competition, the actual markets will be much smaller.
The fruits go to those companies who don't wait for patent expiry before launching, and instead develop non-infringement or invalidity strategies. High risk, but high reward.
Read the full post here. Also take a look at Mr. Bucknell's most recent Global Week in Review. A "selection of top intellectual property news breaking in the blogsphere and Internet."
