This vitriolic tirade came over the telephone line from someone that I had classed as a “fri According to USFDA, a combination product is one composed of any combination of a drug and device; biological product and device; drug and biological product end”. Certainly, if friendship is involved, this person has made very little effort to understand anything about me. Because I had spent considerable time and effort, as well as a financial cost with the aim of providing this person, her husband, and their business, with a tool w ; or drug, device, and biological product and fixed dose combination would include two or more combinations of drug. Examples of combination products may in hich I thought may have been useful for them. But, I shall come back to this point later.

Combination products have proven advantages but fixe . You are an Aussie with an Australian business, so you are entitled to add the extension “.com.au” after the “JoesPies” part.

Combination pro Pies. Life is good! However, some time down the track there happens to be another Joe who wants a web site or sites. Or, it may even be a Fred or a Mary. They do a search and find that “JoesPies” with each of the extensions .com, .net, .name, . biz, .info, are available. A dilem ucts have become life saving products for the pharmaceutical companies who doesn’t have many innovative molecules in their product pipeline and have been inc ma for Joe, Fred or Mary is which one to choose? Well, my advise for what it is worth would be to register the lot. It is exactly the same advise I would have given the first Joe if he had asked me to protect his business. The cost of registering them all, (with a competitively easingly used in the product life cycle management. Even the companies having product patents are trying to extend their product life cycle through the combi priced Registrant), is less than a hundred dollars for a couple of years protection. I would strongly suggest that you do exactly the same, regardless of the type of business in which you are involved. Because you have registered one domain name only, it does not give you propri nation products and maximize the revenues. But the companies involved in this practice are overlooking that they are burdening the patients both economically etary rights over all of the other extensions. You may not want six or more web sites, perhaps you want one only. That's OK, you can park the others free of charge with reputable Domain name registrants, or even better still you could arrange to have all the Domain names apart fr and physically.

Companies involved in development of combination products are fi . However, my understanding is that this process takes quite some time and costs are in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. So, it is hardly an option for a relatively small firm like “Joe's Pies”. Surely spending fifty or so dollars is a far better alternative. Now, I have a ding difficulty in defining their combination products and facing various challenges from selecting a combination to marketing it. Following aspects would a bsolutely no idea whatsoever, if a firm called “Joe's Pies” exists anywhere. Nor, do I know if Joe has any web sites with any of the extensions I have mentioned above. If there is, then rest assured Joe, I have used the name “Joe's Pies” here for exemplification purposes only. B dd to the challenges in developing combination products: Which markets to tap where the combination products can do fairly well?
