This competitive environment helps to promote progress in the field of medicine and pharmacy, improve existing treatments or develop new therapies. Return on investment. Pharmaceutical companies invest a lot of money in research and development, and patents provide a way to return on investment. During the patent protection period, companies can sell their drugs on an exclusive supply, to earn enough profits to cover the cost of R & D and clinical trials; to maintain a competitive advantage, having valid patents can help the company build a competitive advantage in the market, which helps prevent other companies from manufacturing similar drugs or treatments, to ensure that the original company can maintain a leading position in the market; to provide commercial bargaining chips, pharmaceutical companies can use their patents as commercial bargaining chips, such as licensing agreements or partnerships with other firms, the following is aboutJohnson & JohnsonCompany.AstellasExamples of companies.

Overall, patents are an important driver of innovation and business success for pharmaceutical companies, but they also need to be balanced to ensure that patients have access to appropriate medical care, such as price and accessibility. Patent protection enables pharmaceutical companies to sell their drugs at higher prices during the patent period to compensate for research and development costs. However, this may also make it difficult for some patients to afford expensive drugs, it is necessary to ensure the accessibility of drugs to the public through different pricing and marketing strategies while ensuring the profits of pharmaceutical companies. Rational use of patent rights: pharmaceutical companies should exercise their patent rights in a responsible manner and not abuse their monopoly position. This may include cooperation with academic institutions and other pharmaceutical companies to improve the level of innovation and expand the benefits of patient groups. Authorization and cooperation: Pharmaceutical companies can cooperate with other companies through authorization or with other companies, improve the efficiency of drug production and supply, while expanding the scope of benefits for patients; Later-stage market competition, with the end of the patent protection period, the latter-stage market will usually usher in more competition, reduce prices and increase patient choices, which helps improve drug accessibility. Therefore, while promoting innovation and business success, patents need to focus on public interests and ensure that patients can obtain necessary treatments and drugs.
