Using supply and demand and competitive analyses, explain what happens to a pharmaceutical company’s revenues and profits from an individual drug once it loses its patent protection. Then identify at least one strategy the company can use to mitigate the losses; be sure to support your suggestion using economic analysis.
SOLUTION:-
* We know that the pharmaceutical company now enjoying patent protection among the US and most of their countries.
* We know that the patent protection means a right granted by the united states of america to the inventor.
* This right give the inventor to protect using.
* Selling, importing by other is punishable offence.
* The protection is different for drugs.
* The protection is always create a monopoly to the producer.
* But the protection is expires their competitor will be manufactured the drugs.
* This drug is know as generic drugs.
* So the competitor will not incur any type of cost.
* Because the drug is always a market value and demand.
* So the protection is losed by the manufactures their revenues will be decreased.
* But the demand for the product will be increased.
* But the competitor are always produce the generic versions.
* So the best challege against the competitor will reduce the production of drugs in the industry.
* Or an another strategy is invention of new drugs and enjoy the patent protection.
