Stockboy, I love the enthusiasm. And I don't totally disagree.
YES, generics cannot directly copy a Vascepa combo drug. However, nothing is preventing doctors/pharmacists/insurers from simply saying "just take gIPE plus this statin/diabetes drug/etc. - it's MUCH cheaper and just an extra pill!"
Point is, Denner et.al. has to convince a BP that they can retain exclusivity *in practice* (vs. "legal" exclusivity).
