--FDA's Purdue ruling April 16, 2013 : prohibits new original non-abuse resistant oxycodone from being made in generic form, unless it has an abuse deterrent/resistant properties. FDA will not accept or approve any ANDA applications  based on the original OxyContin formulation
--the FDA decision basically requires generic companies to buy or develop their own abuse deterrent/resistant technology: it effectively eliminates much of Elite's competition which has no ART thus making Elite's 2-bead ART MORE VALUABLE
