Peterson Comments on Growth of Generic Drug ‘First-Filers’

Partner Liane Peterson was quoted in a Bloomberg Law article, “Rush for Generic Go-Ahead on Novel Drugs Roils Pharma Industry,” about the growth in the number of generic drugmakers seeking to bring competing versions of brand name products to market as quickly as possible.

Peterson said the trend has led to more smaller players jumping in to be first-filers on profitable drugs, which “would suggest the bigger players don’t want to share the market with anyone else.”
