At large pharmaceutical companies, information management as a cross-functional process leverages all sources of public information for the identification and assessment of licensing opportunities. These sources include news, scientific and medical conferences, pipeline databases, company public disclosures, scientific literature and patents. Information management complements direct human interactions for successful licensing and partnering. Even for those smaller companies with limited resources, effective information management can play an important role in successful product licensing.
