Monopolies! Competition law hates them, intellectual property law creates them. It's not that simple, but the two areas of law often find themselves in conflict, and in Australia they've been unleashed on each other after the repeal of a key exemption. Competition partner Susan Jones and IP partner John Lee dissect the issues after pharma competitors Celgene and Juno failed to get their patent settlement agreement authorised by the ACCC.

Plus punishing (or at least deterring) penalties proposed, good news and bad news for Google in location tracking and defamation cases, and myths and legends from Olympus to the Olympics while the AEMO fiddles with the national energy objectives. All this and more with co-hosts Moya Dodd and Matt Rubinstein on The Competitive Edge with Gilbert + Tobin.

More from John and Susan with special guests at the G+T/Legal 500 webinar in May
