Can someone explain benefit of orphan drug status?

I mean if dasatinib, nilotinib, bosutinib, and very soon ponatinib all have orphan drug status in US and EU for CML then what is the benefit? Can there really be 7 years of market exclusivity in US and 10 years in EU for four relatively new drugs for the same indication?

Or is orphan drug status just a tax benefit?


Thanks.
