This is a research project for school looking into how prices for drugs change when the patents/rights to production are sold from large well known companies to lesser known smaller companies. The hypothesis is that when a large company owns a drug, it's hard for them to raise the price, but when they sell it to a smaller company, the new owner can more easily gouge consumers because they don't have reputational concerns.

I'm looking for sales data on big pharmaceutical corps selling rights/patents for drugs to smaller corps?
It's the other way around; small companies do not have the marketing machine required to get a medication off the ground, so they sell patents to big companies. Quite often, big companies buy small ones outright.
