Jon,

This information isn't exactly new - patent expirations are about the most predictable items in all of biotech and pharma. <g> (Of course they are not totally predictable - just ask the generics manufacturers about the delaying tactics.)

Incidentally this table somehow manages to omit the biggest expiration of all - Prilosec.

I have some hope that the patent expirations will take some pressure off the drug cost containment issue and leave space for some new drugs.

Is the ICN Intron patent really up in 2002?

P.S. You can make it look pretty either by selecting "fixed font" in the post or by using a "PRE" tag just like you do with italics or bold.
