    Dear Sir,

    Please find below and comment on my answer to a hypothetical question: ‘Comment on the threat of new entry for a firm that has 60 percent of its revenue from patented product and services’

    My answer:

    The threat of barrier is high as new entrants cannot enter the market with a similar name and erode market share and profit; at least in the short run

    The strength of the barrier would depend on the the duration of the patent and whether the percentage of revenue from patent is increasing or decreasing.

    Thanks

    Fine, but with patent protection there is also a risk that a new competitor could enter the market using a better or, at any rate, different patent.

    This happens all the time in the pharmaceutical industry.
