Regulations require complete justification.
How can a company respond to regulatory requirements on an item by item basis (GMOs, allergens, REACH/RoHS)? - Intellectual Property
A number of molecules have fallen into the public domain.
What’s the best way to address generic drugs? - Externalization
There is an increasing amount of “academic spin-off” and CROs.
