Unfair or Deceptive Trade Practices

Protecting You From Unfair Trade Practices

Unfair trade practices encompass a broad array of torts, all of which involve economic injury brought on by deceptive or wrongful conduct. Unfair trade practices can include claims such as trade secret misappropriation, unfair competition, false advertising, palming-off, trademark dilution and business disparagement. Unfair trade practices may be governed by common law as well as federal and state statutes and regulations. Though unfair trade practices can arise from a variety of business practices, they frequently appear in connection with the more traditional intellectual property claims of patent, trademark and copyright infringement.
