1 © 2012 IP Technology Exchange, Inc.1 What does a small/medium Pharma-Biotech need to do to get on “Big Pharma’s” radar? Mark McBride Managing Director, Pharmalicensing BioSynergy, FERA, January 2014

2 2© 2012 IP Technology Exchange, Inc. Key Global Issue BigPharma are losing exclusivity on their blockbuster products as they come off patent. This leads to ►fall in revenues, and ►pressure from shareholders as shareholder value falls

3 3© 2012 IP Technology Exchange, Inc. Key Global Issue – Example 1 World’s two biggest selling drugs both off- patent within last two years ► Lipitor (Pfizer): $13b annual sales ► Plavix (BMS/Sanofi): $6b annual sales In total, more than $83b of annual “blockbuster” sales as of January 2010 came off-patent within last four years. Another $150b+ due by end of 2016 Consequence: massive cuts are demanded, hitting R&D Groups.

4 4© 2012 IP Technology Exchange, Inc. Key Global Issue – Example 2 Last five years: Astra Zeneca, GSK & Pfizer announce: ► combined 67,000 job cuts (nearly 20% of workforce), largely from R&D ► plant closures (Sandwich / Alderley Park) ► reduction in areas of therapeutic focus ► future pipeline development driven by external acquisition/partnering of IP (opportunity)

5 5© 2012 IP Technology Exchange, Inc. Opportunity As Big Pharma embraces Open Innovation it puts aside its traditional “only-invented- here” attitude. Small/medium pharma-biotechs have opportunity to put themselves in front of BigPharma and highlight innovative IP.

10 10© 2012 IP Technology Exchange, Inc. Global Market & your IP Where does your IP fit into the Global Marketplace? Is your IP potential strong when compared to Big Pharma’s key areas of interest? As Big Pharma is risk averse then position your proposal to best match their needs, otherwise….

11 11© 2012 IP Technology Exchange, Inc. Is Big Pharma correct for you? If your IP does not match BigPharma’s needs, or your partner is looking to In- License only at PIIb+ then consider Specialty Pharma instead ► Reactive ► Committed ► Consequence ► Proportional

12 12© 2012 IP Technology Exchange, Inc. Understand your Partner ► Shareholder needs (public/private) – are they risk averse? ► What in your USPs will excite them? ► Look at their pipelines ► Talk to their scouts as soon as possible ► Bring them solutions, not just pure science
