In this case, in period one the brand’s options are either to earn ΠD0 (duopoly with no AG) or to earn ΠT1 (triopoly with an AG launched via G1) plus a licensing fee. We set licensing fee as a take-it or leave-it offer.

Then by launching an AG (T1 configuration), the profits due to the sales of the branded drug are V T1 = ΠT1 + δΠT0, where the second part is from sales in the post-patent period, and similarly, those due to sales of the authorized generic are V T1 = ΠT1 + δΠT0 (post patent profits are δΠT0 instead of δΠT1 as there
