Strategically Managing the Transition: Comprehensive Loss of Exclusivity Analysis by Eye4Health

Updated: Oct 15

Eye4Health’s Strategic Approach to Loss of Exclusivity Analysis

Eye4Health offers pharmaceutical companies an integrated LOE analysis approach tailored to commercial and legal needs. Our analysis helps clients navigate the challenges associated with LOE through three key components:


1. Comprehensive Market Impact Analysis

Eye4Health’s LOE analysis begins with a thorough market impact assessment, focusing on:

  • Competitive Landscape: Identifying potential market entrants and evaluating the strategies of generic competitors.

  • Pricing and Revenue Projections: Assessing the potential revenue and market share decline through data-driven projections and scenario modelling.

  • Lifecycle Extension Opportunities: Identifying strategies for prolonging the product's profitability, such as pricing adjustments, product enhancements, or portfolio optimisation.


This analysis helps pharmaceutical companies plan proactively, enabling them to mitigate the financial impact of LOE while developing effective strategies for maintaining market presence.


2. Analytical Support for Legal Teams

Although Eye4Health does not provide direct legal services, we offer high-level analytical support to clients’ legal teams, helping them defend intellectual property and navigate the complex legal environment associated with LOE. Our support includes:

  • Patent Litigation Support: Providing detailed market and economic analyses that legal teams can use to defend patents against challenges from generic competitors.

  • Economic Impact Assessments: Offering data-driven assessments of potential lost revenues and market disruption to strengthen legal arguments in patent disputes or regulatory cases.

  • Scenario Modelling: Developing various market scenarios based on different legal outcomes, enabling legal teams to prepare for multiple contingencies during litigation or negotiation.


By providing clear, actionable insights, we enhance the legal team’s ability to defend patents and manage the legal complexities surrounding LOE.


3. Proactive Transition Management

Navigating the transition from exclusivity to a competitive market requires forward-thinking strategies. Eye4Health provides analytical expertise in crafting transition strategies that mitigate the impact of LOE. This includes:

  • Brand Defence Strategies: Supporting the development of strategies to maintain brand loyalty and market positioning, even in the face of generic competition.

  • Alternative Revenue Streams: Analysing opportunities for partnerships, licensing deals, or alternative product lines to generate new revenue streams.

  • Optimised Pricing Models: Advising pricing strategies that balance profitability with competitive positioning, helping clients retain as much market share as possible.


Our goal is to ensure that companies have a proactive plan to manage the shift to a post-exclusivity market landscape while maximising the remaining value of their product portfolio.


Case Study: Analytical Support for Legal Teams During LOE

A global pharmaceutical company was approaching the loss of exclusivity for one of its top-performing drugs. In anticipation of legal challenges from generic manufacturers, the company engaged Eye4Health to provide comprehensive LOE analysis and support its legal team.


Market Impact Analysis: We conducted a detailed competitive landscape assessment, predicting the revenue impact and identifying key generic entrants. Our analysis included pricing dynamics and potential revenue loss, giving the company a clear picture of the financial stakes.


Legal Analytical Support: Working alongside the company’s legal team, we provided analytical insights that bolstered their patent defence strategy. This included preparing economic models that demonstrated the product's value and potential market disruption if generics entered early. Our analysis was presented as part of the legal defence during hearings, enabling the legal team to make data-backed arguments.

This comprehensive support played a crucial role in the company’s successful defence of its intellectual property, allowing it to delay generic entry and extend the product’s revenue-generating period.
