See following URL for current patent status of Tamoxifen as well. Apparently it expires in 8/2002.

FDA Affirms Barr's 180 Day Generic Tamoxifen Exclusivity

Pomona, NY, March 9, 1999 -- Barr Laboratories, Inc. (NYSE-BRL) today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has granted its Citizen Petition clarifying that the Company will have 180 days of market exclusivity for its generic version of Tamoxifen Citrate when the patent protecting the brand version expires in 2002..."

There is more having to do with patent disputes. Unless I read this the wrong way, the generic market won't be available to Duramed until
2003. Nonetheless, this market fits in well with their current product line as well as the emerging demographics. Maybe 4 years is to far out for most people, but I think this company has some good prospects.
