Cornerstone Research worked with Professor Iain Cockburn of Boston University in a breach-of-contract dispute between two biotechnology companies about the joint development of certain products. The analysis addressed how specific actions by the parties affected the overall value of the collaboration. Professor Cockburn and Cornerstone Research constructed an economic model that considered the trade-offs and challenges involved in the clinical development of biotechnology products, the implications of life-cycle management strategies, competition among therapeutic alternatives, and anticipated competition from biosimilars.
