Long-term Disability Plan,&quot; recently published in Employee Benefits News,
benefits consultant Jim Edholm encourages employers to use long-term
disability benefits efficiently and shows how they can improve coverage for
employees while lowering costs by taking advantage of tax laws.

&quot;LTD is a very popular benefit, even when offered on a voluntary,
employee-pay-all basis, outdrawing all other voluntary benefits,&quot; writes
Edholm, president of Business Benefits Insurance in Andover, Massachusetts.
&quot;That combination of popularity and infrequency suggests that offering LTD
might make you a more attractive employer, able to snag the most qualified
employees, reduce turnover and improve efficiency, even if only slightly.&quot;

			<link>http://www.emediaworld.com/press_release/release_detail.php?id=77032</link>
			<pubDate>Tue, 17 Jun 2008 06:28:00 EDT</pubDate>
			<description><![CDATA[RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, NC--(eMediaWorld - June 17, 2008) -  A new study developed by market
intelligence firm Cutting Edge Information reveals that the majority of
pharmaceutical companies are waiting until their patents on drugs are
nearly run out before they start to work on patent litigation strategies
(http://www.PharmaGenerics.com).

One explanation is that companies wait to use patent litigation in order to
protect their compounds as a last resort because media coverage of
litigation battles often reflects negatively on the company.  Another
reason that most companies wait so long is that the legal precedent has
been set -- patent litigation is a relatively quick process, and companies
can afford to give themselves only a few months of time to do so.
