Methodology: LOE (loss of exclusivity) dates come from FDA Orange Book patent + exclusivity records, taking the earlier of the two. Hiring velocity is computed from CrawlRun deltas over the last 30 days (jobs created − jobs removed) at the company level. “Hot” ≥ +20, “Growing” ≥ +5, “Stable” ±5, “Cooling” ≤ −5, “Contracting” ≤ −20. Patent cliffs are not financial advice; companies adjust hiring for many reasons beyond exclusivity loss.
