Licensing
In an industry some accuse of stagnating, the ongoing rapid growth of licensing is a shining example of continuing clinical and business innovation and leadership. The rise of licensing – now more than half of major companies’ new product launches and much of their pipeline – has led to increased competition, escalated deal terms and eroding returns.
