Unfair Competition
States often define unfair competition as meaning any unlawful, unfair or fraudulent business act or practice and unfair, deceptive, untrue or misleading advertising. In the field of Intellectual Property law, most claims generally arise through trademark infringement and the misappropriation of trade secrets. The damages caused to domestic and foreign corporations or to an individual can be considerable.
Persons who engage, have engaged or propose to engage in an unfair competition can be the subject of litigation to prevent any such practices.
