I think its mostly a patent issue. I did read somewhere that rozerem may have longer effects, which I guess could be good or bad (plus..its easy enough to make a melatonin extended release; its already done for vitamins).
Rozerem kind of bothers me. Melatonin can act as an antioxidant, and helps some conditions--high doses (10mgs) can sometimes help tardive dyskinesia, for instance.
