Pharmaceutical development is a long, risky, and expensive process. In this highly competitive market, pharmaceutical companies are under constant pressure to deliver innovation via new therapeutics, new technology, and improved efficiency and effectiveness (1). Precompetitive collaboration is recognized as a mechanism to enhance efficiency, mitigate risks, and share costs that can benefit industry, academia, and government agencies. For the purposes of this viewpoint, “precompetitive collaboration” may be defined as collaborations between pharmaceutical companies and third parties to produce an efficiency-enhancing advancement or refinement that will be made broadly available to the public (i.e., publication, commercialization of a new product).
