Unfair competition and advertising law

Every responsible businessperson wants to do business in a fair manner. Nevertheless, many companies will be confronted at some point by competitors that, consciously or unconsciously, exceed the bounds. It may be that the design of a new product looks too much like an existing product. Or it could be that advertising or marketing materials make misleading claims or include unfair or inaccurate comparisons.
