While there are some success stories in the industry, a number of players are having trouble dealing with the volatile nature of biotechnologies. Research and development costs are extremely high, and the success of a product can sometimes not be measured until late in development. According to Krishan Maggon, a Geneva-based pharmaceuticals consultant, the number of new biotech drugs approved in the U.S. has remained in the 20 to 25 range during the past four years, while in Europe the figure was a record-low 14 last year.

Amarin Corporation is a late-stage biopharmaceutical company with a focus on cardiovascular disease. Amarin is aggressively pursuing a patent strategy to bolster the proprietary position of AMR101. The Company has filed and is actively prosecuting numerous patents. Amarin has filed 16 pending U.S. patent applications belonging to 11 US patent families that collectively include numerous independent claims and dependent claims. In September 2011, Amarin submitted an NDA to the FDA requesting approval to market and sell AMR101 for the indication studied in the Phase 3 MARINE trial.
Alimera Sciences is a biopharmaceutical company that specializes in the research, development and commercialization of prescription ophthalmic pharmaceuticals. Shares of the company were crushed earlier this month after the Food and Drug Administration refused to approve Iluvien, a time-release injection that is intended to treat diabetic macular edema, which can cause blurred vision and blindness. Alimera said it still plans to seek approval for Iluvien in the European Union.
