CEOs and their board's live quarter by quarter and their pay is tied directly to performance. You think that CEO/board doesn't want to bask in personal wealth and glory while skyrocketing their companies valuation vs looking out for the their predecessors whom they don't even know 20 years down the road? That's asinine and the exact opposite of what they're compensated to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most drug patents are to replace those falling to generics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No ...the Government doesn't want us to live that long. You think Social Security is strained now? It would be obliterated with many living over 100 ... It would be beneficial to the company share price though. Edited July 10 by ViperGTS/Z1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArcticCrusher Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Poor Fagden, a whole 8.2 years, if nothing goes wrong. Once a drug reaches the market, companies have a median of 8.2 years before the patent expires and generics can reach the market. Most of the time between the filing of a patent application and when a drug is marketed is determined by decisions that are largely under the control of the company.

You posted something with actual content! Unfortunately, the point still remains. Performance packages for CEOs and their leadership aren't 8 years out. Average tenure in fortune 500 CEOs is even less than that. But you've still got your 'they' theory going, so don't give up hope yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never been a fan of the system. We may have the best tech but, at what cost? It's not helping with longer lives. 3 hours ago, akvanden said: find the cure to cancer and you'll be the most profitable pharma company ever. There is infinitely more profit in treating the illness than finding a cure. Plus, if the treatment doesn't work, it can be blamed on the complexity of the illness. "Covid variants". "Flu strains".
