Abstract
The Distribution Agreements in Biopharma report provides comprehensive
understanding and unprecedented access to the distribution partnering
agreements entered into by the worlds leading biopharma companies.
The report provides a detailed understand and analysis of how and why
companies enter distribution deals.
The majority of deals are multicomponent whereby the licensor offers a right
to distribute the resultant product of the research collaboration. There are
also numerous pure distribution deals whereby the products originator takes on
a distribution partner in order to maximize a products presence in the
marketplace.
Understanding the flexibility of a prospective partner' s negotiated deals
terms provides critical insight into the negotiation process in terms of what
you can expect to achieve during the negotiation of terms. Whilst many smaller
companies will be seeking details of the payments clauses, the devil is in the
detail in terms of how payments are triggered - contract documents provide
this insight where press releases and databases do not.
This report contains over 500 links to online copies of actual distribution
contract documents as submitted to the Securities Exchange Commission by
biopharma companies and their partners.

which will have a significant impact on each party' s ability to derive value
from the deal.
