In a nutshell, would Sandoz be at this point in M-Enox without Momenta? Nope. So why would Momenta accept 45% of profits versus 10% of sales????? It certainly doesn't make any sense whatsoever UNLESS these two numbers are much closer to each other as a net payment to Momenta. The people here wouldn't agree at this point.
You miss the point. MNTA with NO deals and fine technology still NEEDED a partner badly. NVS/Sandoz brought a lot of value to the deal, funding, validation, regulatory and marketing skills. The contract was the deal MNTA was able to strike. That deal was prerequisite to doing full profit sharing deals like Copaxone.
