Resolving Unfair Competition and Deceptive Trade Practices Claims
In any competitive business environment, ambitious parties constantly strive to obtain an advantage. The strength of our capitalistic system is that fair competition usually benefits the consumer through higher quality products and services and through lower prices.
When a business resorts to deception or other tortious acts in order to gain an unfair edge over the competitors, U.S. federal law and various state laws regarding deceptive trade practices and unfair competition provides companies and consumers who have been injured with legal options.
The Utah intellectual property law firm of Kunzler, Needham, Massey & Thorpe has substantial experience in the prosecution and defense of Federal Trade Commission (FTC) actions regarding deceptive trade practices and unfair competition.
