Course Name: KPE’s Certificate Course in In-Licensing and Out-Licensing in Pharmaceutical Industry
Licensing, as is understood in plain terms, is the transfer of rights to a third party (the Licensee) to use the Intellectual Property owned by a party (the Licensor) for a fixed duration of time and under defined terms and conditions. The said terms and conditions may be, for ex., manufacturing and/or marketing rights in select geography, etc. Depending from whose perspective you see it, a licensing deal can be called an Out-Licensing deal or an In-Licensing deal. Out-Licensing means that the Licensor is ‘out’ – licensing his Intellectual Property to a third party. For the third party, the Licensee, who takes ‘In’ the Intellectual Property, it becomes an In-Licensing deal.
Coming to the Pharma domain, smaller size innovators companies are traditionally been an out-Licensing entity. They develop a drug molecule up to a certain level (generally till they identify a drug candidate from hundreds of potential ones) and then they out-license this molecule to a Big Pharma player for this molecule and then receive royalties on future sales if the drug candidate is finally marketed after passing all the regulatory steps. This benefits the Indian Pharma in two-ways: a) they do not have to invest into the high-risk business of developing a drug and b) they get a substantial amount from the one time payment they receive, which they can invest in further R&D etc.
