New generics in the period 2007 to 2011 threaten $100 billion of revenues generated in the United States and Europe. The most dramatic change in this period will arise in the period 2010 to 2012 as the patents covering Lipitor expire.
The loss of revenues to generic substitutes is a major influence on the financial performance of ethical R&D companies. Conversely the successful identification and exploitation of the opportunities afforded by patent expirations provides a major growth driver for the pharmaceutical companies who focus their business on the provision of generic therapeutics.
