<<That’s utter nonsense.>>

There's been several products recently where the bio has given up on profit sharing and restructured into royalty bearing. They couldn't afford the losses any longer. By the time they restructured they weren't exactly in positions of strength to negotiate much better than piddly royalties.

If you think the icos deal was equivalent to nbix's then you should be buying the hell out of icos right now imo. icos would have earned $190M in straight royalties last year under nbix terms.
