Answer: charge a monopoly price

Explanation:

Patents provide an exclusive right to the firm in the production and sale of a drug. This provides the firm exclusive market power to decide the price and the quantity and therefore the firm is able to charge a monopoly price and also earn monopoly profits.

When an existing patent expires and the generic producers enter the market, the price reduces due to an increase in the supply of the erstwhile patented drug. This will reduce the monopoly profit of incumbent producers. Therefore, they will seek to deter the entry of generic drug makers in order to safeguard their monopoly profits and price.

Therefore, incumbents were willing to give enough to potential entrants so as to make them delay entry to charge a monopoly price.

The effect of the 2013 Supreme Court decision allowing legal action against these companies is increase in the cost of pay-for-delay agreements and also reduce incumbent profits from these agreements.

While writing business messages, avoid terms that unnecessarily focus on differences?
77julia77 [94]
<span>This is true. By looking at similarities, one can keep the tenor of the message positive. This is a major aspect of writing good business letters. Constantly focusing on the negative aspects will do nothing but put off the recipient of the letter and make it harder for them to accept the premises of the message.</span>

Apart from searching for the solution of issues from the shareholders' perspective, The meetings were mainly conducted to finalize the decision of increasing the minimum wage support.
