Dear all

I have a few general querry which almost many of you might be having a deep idea about.

can anyone please help on below few points:

what is exact duration of a new patent? I have heared that its 20 years!!! please clarify
is the patent period considered from the start of filing a NDA or when the drug is in market?
now this is quiet intersting. Many people say that in a couple of years, a lot of actual existing patents will expire. Then what is the scope of Generics and BA-BE studies in the future or lets say coming 5-10 years?

The questions may look simpler but i am pretty confused on the above. [specially the 3rd]
You replies and comments will be highly anticipated.

Thank you
