The vast majority of drugs wouldn't even make it out of the FDA approval process before the patent expired if you set the term to 5 years.

- michael_j_ward 7y agoThe number was merely an example. The alteration I proposed would be equivalently applicable to "5 years post FDA approval."
- harryh 7y agoThe typical window with today's regulatory framework is 7-12 years. Your proposal certainly changes that some, but it's not nearly as dramatic as your original framing of "reduce it from 20 to 5 years."
