Abstract
Introduction:
Pharmaceutical companies are on the hunt for new product and technology
opportunities to augment their product development pipelines. Pharmaceutical
giants and big biotech alike are exploring new avenues of cooperation to gain
early access to innovation as they move toward external R&D models and
establish corporate venturing infrastructures. Competition is fi erce. Right
now, innovation is the currency of the industry; it greases the wheels of
dealmaking, and its value is measured in the 4,030 products that were licensed
between 2005 and 2007 and the 15 drug licensing trends that this dealmaking is
spawning.
