NBIX has solid intellectual right on MCH/MSH/POMC/ACTH hormones family and its receptors, from Salk and Oregon. That others are entering this field is conformation of the field importance and value.

In regards the MCH receptors, SNAP has patent on MCH1, while Merck has EU patent on MCH2. It will be interesting to see what will Tularik do. Point is, solid patents do give advantage.
