North, I often wonder if Amarin and Pfizer have an informal agreement that they will talk at some point about a deal, but that Pfizer needs them to achieve certain "milestones" for that to happen (ie. approvals in Europe, HN lawsuit, etc.).
My guess is that the Du ruling has really kept most BP's away.
The other open question is, how many BP's have CVD experts that fall in the Nissen camp vs. the Bhatt camp...
