6. impressions- - very strong ip position. Not in the least bit concerned. Incy clearly believes that ip in database has been ignored and talked about an integrated ip strategy across the enterprise. Good marketing strategy which will explode within 12-18 months after everything is online. Expect additional pr blitz on benefits of incy data a la jnj , as well as to distinguish from cra/human genome controversy.
