Strategic Differentiation of Marketing and Manufacturing Rights: The Case of Bayer Licensing from NCHU
Background • The US Bayh-Dole Act in 1980 stimulated the promulgation of Basic of S&T Act in Taiwan in 1999. • The establishment of Technology Licensing Office (TLO), National Chung Hsing University (NCHU) • Goals of TLO • Manage and promote the academic R&D output • Protect the benefit of inventors/creators (or innovators for both instances) • Provide the needed technology for industrial transformation • Enhance the cooperation between industry and academia to create a win-win situation
Prelude • An e-news forwarded by a friend from the Biotechnology and Pharmaceutical Industries Program Office, Ministry of Economic Affairs in early 2003. • Kao-Sheng Pharmaceutical Corp. (KPC) • Over-estimated sales volume NT$1billion per year • Tracking the cooperative line • Manufacturing • Marketing • Threat of being downgraded as an OEM (KPC) • Creation of the optimization of commercial success (TLO’s perspective)
The Inventor & the Project • Professor Maw-Sheng Chien and his lab • Graduate Institute of Veterinary Pathology, College of Veterinary Medicine • A research project sponsored by Bureau of Animal and Plant Health Inspection and Quarantine, Council of Agriculture • Swine Atrophic Rhinitis Recombinant Subunit PMT Vaccine (AR,豬萎縮性鼻炎重組次單位毒素疫苗,Project #: 91農科3.1.3—檢—B3) • The R&D outcome is a result of accumulated R&D effort from professors in Graduate Institute of Veterinary Pathology, College of Veterinary Medicine for 18 years.
NCHU-KPC-Bayer Cooperation • Identification of the Bayer key person: Joel Yu, GM of Animal Health, Health Care Group, Bayer Taiwan • Negotiation among 4 parties: COA+NCHU, Bayer, KPC, and Professor Chien • Long process of hide-and-seek • Articulation of win-win situation • Trust and commitment • Contracts signed by the 4 parties on Feb. 3, 2004 • Technology licensing agreement • Supply agreement • QC agreement
Key Successful Factors • Strong R&D capability • Strategic differentiation of patent rights • Manufacturing • Selling • Using • Importing • Enthusiastic and aggressive pushing force • Incentives • Insights • Integration
Status Quo of AR • Marketing permission has been granted in March 2004 • A press conference was held in July 2004 • Further market penetration to South Korean market is on the way. We are expecting subsequent entry to Mexican, Vietnamese, Philippians’ markets through the Bayer marketing platform.
Gateway to the Future • On-going cooperation • AR+PR (launched mid-2005) • Salmonella • More research contracts released from Bayer HQ to Prof. Chien’s team provide • Enhanced international experience • Enriched R&D resources (budget and human resources) • Upgraded quality demands • CNLA certification for facilitating future commercialization
Summary • What makes the case strategically significant? • Sales volume increases at least 5 times in Taiwan, let alone the international market. • Breakthrough of the vicious cycle of local vaccine manufacturers and R&D • Subsequent technological cooperation with an internationally renowned corporation • Creativity matters • There is no limit! • Path dependent (technological accumulation) • Luck helps (timing, product lines)
