Yes, but...

If you look at small molecule drugs, biotechs can only take full credit for a handful of approved drugs. Many (if not most) late-stage or approved small molecule drugs owned by biotechs were originally developed in big pharma labs and then out-licensed via one route or another.

Reverset, which we've just been talking about is a good example - this was originally a Du Pont drug. There are many other examples. So it's not clear at all that we can shut down the big pharma labs just yet.
