Who else benefits

I think all the pharma benefit to some extent. This was a cloud hanging over Lilly, and by extension over the rest of them. There was this sense that "no patent is safe" and that just added to the already heightened risk profile of the sector.

Probably every company with IP to protect benefits, but especially those in big Pharma. I don't know that the generics should really lose a bunch after the initial reaction. There's still lots of pickings as some major blockbusters legitimately lose their patent protection.

IMO,
