Overview

A 'laissez-faire' approach to patent loss management will typically result in up to 80% loss of revenue one year from patent loss. Proactive strategies to optimise the end of a product's lifecycle can yield significant returns, providing the critical support needed to carry a portfolio forward to a next generation product or follow-on enhancement. Unfortunately, many companies are ill-equipped to deliver an orchestrated and integrated approach to effective late-stage, cutting-edge revenue enhancement strategies and tactics in the face of threats from generic competition.

Lifescience Dynamics' patent loss optimisation advisory services are designed to provide pharmaceutical companies with an insightful, broad-ranging strategic toolkit to cushion the patent loss impact through a 'leave no stone unturned' philosophy.  Our solutions are embedded in deep and rigorous generic/biosimilar market knowledge, combining focused primary research, competitive intelligence and revenue modelling to support strategic decision making.

The key components of our modular services include intellectual property landscape analyses, assessment of the likely post-patent generic competitor environment, advanced market intelligence, expert pricing, parallel trade and regulatory insights and strategic forecast modelling/scenario analysis. These valuable advisory service modules create the foundation for rigorous evaluation and assessment of strategic product planning alternatives as well as the identification and recognition of secondary impacts or risk factors. Utilising validated product forecasts, we provide actionable, value-enhancing strategic initiatives, together with contingency plans. Through our integrated approach we achieve buy-in from all key stakeholders. We also provide subsidiary, stand-alone services including diagnostic assessments of patent loss preparedness, educational training workshops and competitor insight analysis.   

Specifically, our patent loss optimisation advisory services aim to:

Maximise your pre-patent revenue and protect the exclusivity time window where possible

Optimise your overall commercial position during patent loss events, seeking to minimise revenue and profit loss following patent expiration

Identify initiatives to extend the brand franchise, in addition to those which afford protection

Provide a focal point for patent-loss strategic planning across the whole organisation which is independent, cost-efficient and rigorous enough to satisfy board-level scrutiny or challenge 

Identify key risks from the implementation of new strategic initiatives and the likely competitor response, through to cross–border implications of proposed national strategies and tactics
