2011 at 52% - Now you are starting to sound like a cockeyed optimist !
1. FDA's latest CP released end of March 2011, says it is premature to talk about any criteria for determining sameness for COPAXONE
2. Company has said in it's March 2011 CC, that there is much bigger backlog compared to backlog that used to persist back when ANDA for lovenox was being reviewed. It took many many(I guess 5-6 years) to get generic LOVENOX approved after ANDA filing.
Copaxone ANDA was filed in late 2007, so any guesses would be after >5 years considering bigger backlog and also considering more complexity for determining sameness
3. Finally incentive plan, the March 2015 date
I guess how did you come up with these probabilities?
