In small-molecule biotech, IP is a key asset that supports pricing power and deal value, and it can block copycat programs before they reach the clinic. If CervoMed Inc. has weak IP, entry gets easier, but that is less likely in a serious late-stage development program.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-green-section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-box-green-section4\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"title-row-green-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eScientific know-how and trial execution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"content-row-green-section blur_box\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScientific know-how is a real barrier in CNS drug development.
