Amarin Corp Plc (AMRN)

Baabaa,

Amarin has a monopoly on Vascepa until the end of exclusivity/patents. What you suggested was locking up API sources by buying them. A monopoly on EPA is not the same as a monopoly on V.

Could Amarin lock up much of the API in long-term contracts, putting up high barriers for competitors? Absolutely. However if they went too far with this strategy it could potentially lead to antitrust action. I also agree that they could vertically integrate, but doubt its worth the hassle.

In any case, trying to monopolize something so ubiquitous seems futile
