Lawyers specialized in unfair competition
The Unfair Competition Law provides a regulatory instrument against certain conducts in the market that are contrary to good business faith. It is not only a legal mechanism designed to offer complementary protection to Industrial Property, prohibiting acts such as deception, imitation, confusion or taking advantage of the reputation of others, but also provides a set of regulations against certain unfair conducts.
Thus, by way of example, the legislation on Unfair Competition is a suitable tool to prosecute the violation of trade secrets, either through cases of industrial espionage or through breaches of confidentiality agreements, or the existence of misleading or denigrating information.
