UNFAIR COMPETITION California and federal law protect against various forms of unfair competition. California’s Unfair Competition Law (UCL) prohibits unfair, unlawful and fraudulent business acts. The UCL also protects against false advertising. Other forms of actionable unfair competition include passing off and counterfeiting goods. Unfair competition claims are often brought as consumer class actions. The attorneys at Colt Wallerstein have extensive experience with unfair competition law and with class actions generally, and Tom Wallerstein has been called "an expert on California's unfair compeittion statutes." |
