Addressing Unfair Competition Matters
Unfair competition is the subject of both state and federal statutes. In this state, California Business and Professions Code Section 17200 prohibits “any unlawful, unfair or fraudulent business act or practice” in addition to false or misleading “advertising.” A claim of statutory unfair competition is typically combined with a claim of infringement of intellectual property.
