Unfair Competition

Unfair Competition

Unfair competition occurs when a person or business uses unlawful or unfair means to get an advantage over their competitors. This can mean anything including lying or materially misrepresenting a product or service to customers, using illegal means to acquire materials at a lower rate, or obtaining a competitor’s intellectual property unlawfully.

In addition to these main categories, people and businesses can commit other types of business torts, including trade secret misappropriation, breach of fiduciary relationships, misappropriation of business opportunities, and conspiracy.
