Enlightened understanding for patent expiry forecasting


 

Analogue off-patent planning is a service, which aids patent expiry forecasting by providing benchmark models for brand and generic performance, based on the history and experience of recent patnet expiry events.

Included in the service;

Penetration Curves - by revenue and dose unit volume

Product Characteristics - Patent expiry date, price differential between brand and first generic, effects of strategy, technical barrier to entry

Market Criteria - chronic/acute usage, leading diagnosis, number of generics on the market

Country Coverage - Canada, USA, France, Germany, UK.

International Standards - able to compare across countries and drill down into specific country
Annual Updates - 2000 edition available from November 2001 edition will be released in July/August 2001


Analogue off-patent planning identifies the factors contributing to uptake of generics or the maintenance of brand value, providing a valuable benchmark for the expected uptake of generics as brands lose their patent protection. Additional insight into the generic environment for each country.

Analogue off-patent planning is supplied as an interactive database allowing you to select new product benchmark models based on 14 selection criteria and enables you to

create "What if" scenarios by changing the product or market criteria of selection

Develop patent expiry forecasts based using the selected benchmarks as models for the brand erosion and generic penetration likely to be achieved under current market conditions
