还是同行业的案例。Gilead公司是全世界艾滋病制药业老大，这里说的是他们的发展中国家的战略：跟印度南非的代理商公司签订授权协议转移生产技术及物流、销售，降低成本同时也提升了自己知识产权的风险。
问题：
1. Compared to Merck and other big Pharmaceutical companies, how is Gilead’s program for low-income countries different?
Replying on distributors for patenting and registration; licensing manufacturing and knowledge transfer; investing more in education
2. Was this deliberate? Was it a pragmatic evolution?
It is bold however it’s necessary to bring the latest drugs to the poor people.
3. How should Gilead reach 2 million patients by 2012? How should it handle generic licenses, competition from first generation drugs and its distributors going forward?
Invest more in education and alliances with WHO and other international bodies/countries. continue the policy of licensing, and subsegment the customers/distribution channel.
4. What if countries like India and Brazil continue to reject its Patent applications? Should it change its course? If so how?
Go generic?
5. What is Gileads emerging markets strategy? If there is one? What should it be?
They didn’t really have but developped on the go. Relying more on the commercial/distribution part could have helped the company to reach more patients at the end of the day?
