Unfair Competition

Unfair competition is any act by a single competitor or a group of competitors that creates disadvantageous conditions for another competitor in the commercial market. Any practice that gives a company unfair business advantages could be considered unfair competition.

Maintaining a Level Playing Field

Unconscionable contracts, fraud, misrepresentation, and false advertising can all be considered unfair competition. Other examples of unfair competition include:

1. Antitrust violations
2. Predatory pricing
3. Resource monopolization
4. Trademark infringement
5. Trade secret violations
6. Trade libel

Protecting your business interests requires an equal playing field. In a fair market, you should be able to compete with other companies in a similar industry, allowing the product to determine market share. When market share is unfairly influenced through dishonest or malicious business practices, you have a right to seek damages.
