Dave, thanks for your response.

So, what you're saying is suppose LGND releases Targretin (tm) for cancer, and Lilly releases T-retin (tm) for diabetes ... identical product, different packaging, that oncologists will prescribe Targretin, but not T-retin, and endocrinologists will do the reverse.

My thought was how do LGND and LLY trace whether the product they sell is going into the indications they have the primary marketing rights for ... and it seems like you're saying physicians prescribing behavior + separate packaging will take care of this.

I'd be interested in hearing from anyone who's had experience with one of these deals ... but what you said makes sense to me.

Peter
