Upcoming Webinar Breaks Down Latest in Generics and Biosimilars Defense

Interactive Conference Will Be Based on Key Findings From "Countering Generic and Biosimilar Threats" Study


RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, NC--(Marketwire - July 26, 2010) - On Thursday, August 5, business intelligence firm Cutting Edge Information will present its recommendations for developing a successful generics-defense strategy.

Based on the company's new report, Countering Generic and Biosimilar Threats: Near-Term and Long-Term Strategies, the presentation will delve into the study's key findings and case studies of successful near-term generics-defense strategy implementation.

Backed with benchmarks and hard metrics, "Generic Competition: It's Not Too Late to Get a Head Start" will go into detail about how the use of industry analytics can help pharmaceutical and biotech companies to:

  • Implement short-term tactics that brand teams can successfully employ with 2 or fewer years left on their patents.
  • Deploy counter-promotions and other tactics to protect revenue streams against generics of competitor products.
  • Focus generics-defense efforts throughout a product's lifecycle and start planning early.
  • Create and continuously run counter-generics task forces that build ongoing generics-defense experience.
  • Develop a well-timed and well-executed generics-defense strategy.
