Dear All

My name is Mark and I work for Menarini, the European licence holder for ranolazine. Can I ask why most of the clinical information has been deleted? We thought it was quite useful.

hey Mark, since you are here, do you know what happened with the ex-US/European rights? I was only able to find a source that SyntexRoche licensed US & european rights to CV Therapeutics, but nothing about asia etc. Do you know, and even better, do you know of any public source that describes that? Thanks Jytdog (talk) 14:42, 10 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The rights were bought by A Menarini for Europe and Asia and and by Gilead in the US — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.84.34.227 (talk) 16:43, 10 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
i found the answer myself. It looks like Menarini have never bought anything related to ranolazine - the deals were not acquisitions but rather licenses. unless there is something i am missing. thanks though Jytdog (talk) 17:11, 10 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. Menarini effectvely bought the rights to market the medicine in Europe and Asia. By this, we took on the licence (or more correctly the Marketing Authorisation in Europe - not sure what the technical term is in Asiancountries. The patent is still held by the originator company. As you realise, companies buy and sell drugs to each other at 'different levels'. Sometimes the patent is sold on, sometimes just the rights to market it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.84.34.227 (talk) 13:50, 11 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
There is a difference between acquisition and licensing. Many people here understand the difference and there is no reason to dumb it down. Jytdog (talk) 14:09, 11 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
