Pay-for-delay arrangements can damage competition by delaying generic competition, leading to higher prices for consumers and the government. These arrangements have attracted scrutiny and significant enforcement actions in the United States and Europe. The application of Australia\u2019s highly prescriptive competition laws to these types of arrangements is not straightforward. This article identifies a number of key challenges, including satisfying the \u201ccompetition condition\u201d, establishing a prohibited cartel or other anti-competitive purpose or effect, and the application of the exclusive dealing \u201cantioverlap\u201d exception to cartel conduct. It remains to be seen how pay-for-delay arrangements in the pharmaceutical industry will be treated under Australian competition law.<\/p>\n ACCESS TO SERVICES<\/a> \u2013 Editor: John Hedge<\/em><\/p>\n UNCONSCIONABLE CONDUCT AND CODES OF CONDUCT<\/a> \u2013 Editor: Deniz Kayis<\/em><\/p>\n CASE NOTE<\/a> \u2013 Editor: Christopher Hodgekiss SC<\/em><\/p>\n TRIBUNAL TABLEAUX<\/a><\/p>\n REFLECTIONS<\/a><\/p>\n REPORT FROM BRITAIN<\/a> \u2013 Editor: Lisa Navarro<\/em><\/p>\n REPORT FROM EUROPE<\/a> \u2013 Editor: Tom Pick<\/em><\/p>\n REPORT FROM NORTH AMERICA<\/a> \u2013 Editor: Christopher Pleatsikas<\/em><\/p>\n For the PDF version of the table of contents, click here: New Westlaw Australia \u2013 AJCCL Vol 31 No 2 Contents<\/a><\/p>\n Click here to access this Part on New Westlaw AU<\/a><\/p>\n\n
