FAQ

Two common examples of unfair competition are trademark infringement and misappropriation. The right to publicity is often invoked in misappropriation issues. Other practices that fall into the area of unfair competition include: False advertising.

These practices include false advertising, a misleading sales pitch, or failing to disclose important information about a product or service. The Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act (FDUTPA) prohibits such practices.

Generally, unfair competition consists of two elements: First, there is some sort of economic injury to a business, such as loss of sales or consumer goodwill. Second, this economic injury is the result of deceptive or otherwise wrongful business practice.

In Florida, unfair competition refers to any business conduct contrary to the ethical practice of commercial matters. It can include interference with business relations, misappropriation of trade secrets, and trademark infringement. In addition, Florida law allows for causes of action arising from unfair competition.

As a general rule, any act or practice carried out in the course of industrial or commercial activities contrary to honest practices constitutes an act of unfair competition; the decisive criterion being “contrary to honest practices”.

In Florida, unfair competition claims are primarily governed by state law, including common law and the Florida's Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act (FDUTPA). However, if the claim involves the misappropriation of intellectual property, like trademark or copyright, then federal law may apply.

Definition. Unfair competition is conduct by a market participant which gains or seeks to gain an advantage over its rivals through misleading, deceptive, dishonest, fraudulent, coercive or unconscionable conduct in trade or commerce.
