Why Unfair Competition?

Unfair competition and antitrust law, includes misuse of intellectual property, standard setting organizations, licensing restrictions, marketing and distribution practices, pricing issues, joint ventures, and mergers and acquisitions. Especially fertile sources of competition-related cases are the California Cartwright Act and California Business and Professions Code 17200 which prohibit any unfair trade practice. Below costs sales, price-fixing, even use of illegal alien labor can draw an investigation or, worse yet , a law suit from a competitor or consumer.

Knowing how to manage your business to avoid unfair competition lawsuits is every bit as valuable as knowing how to stop your competitors from getting the gravy.
