Identifying When Unfair Competition Has Occurred
California’s Unfair Competition Law ( Business and Professions Code sections 17200, et seq.) defines unfair competition as including “any unlawful, unfair, or fraudulent business act or practice and unfair, deceptive, untrue, or misleading advertising.” Generally speaking, the remedies available for an act of unfair competition are an injunction, an order instructing someone to do or stop doing a particular act, and restitution, an order instructing someone to return something wrongfully gained, including profits.

A businessperson may not be able to identify when a competitor is engaged in unlawful business practices. It takes someone with experience handling unfair competition cases to identify when it has occurred. While competition is a standard element of business, that does not mean a business must endure deceptive, or fraudulent practices that constitute unfair competition. Once unfair competition has been identified, an experienced attorney can pursue remedies to put an end to it.
