Unfair Competition

Unfair competition is the taking unfair advantage of a competitor in business. This can be through infringement of registered or unregistered intellectual property, misappropriation of trade secrets or confidential information, or other means of unfairly “getting ahead.”

The Florida commercial litigation attorneys at KALIS, KLEIMAN & WOLFE have extensive experience representing Fortune 500 Companies, multinational corporations, professionals, entrepreneurs and small and medium sized businesses. Our goal is to protect legitimate businesses from those who engage in unfair methods of competition, or unconscionable, deceptive, or unfair acts or practices in the conduct of any trade or commerce.

Some of the unfair competition and wrongful business practices that we handle include:

  • Trademark infringement and copyright infringement
  • Common law misappropriation of ideas and business methods
  • Trade secret theft
  • False advertising
  • Business defamation
  • Bait and switch selling tactics
  • Use of confidential information by former employee to solicit customers (company lists)
  • Breach of a restrictive covenant

  • Unauthorized substitution of one brand of goods for another
  • Employee starts competing business to undercut former employer
