Download or read book The Protection against Unfair Competition in the WTO TRIPS Agreement written by Christian Riffel and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2016-06-10 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Protection Against Unfair Competition in the WTO TRIPS Agreement, Christian Riffel offers an account of the potential which Article 10bis of the Paris Convention has for the world trading system. In particular, the author explores what hard law obligations emerge and examines a possible application to unsettled issues, such as core labour standards and traditional knowledge. Article 10bis embodies unfair competition law in a nutshell. The TRIPS Agreement incorporates this Article into the World Trade Organization, thus making unfair competition law a discipline of international trade law. By providing an effective enforcement mechanism against unfair competition, the WTO upholds ‘honest practices’ in the course of trade, alleviating enforcement deficits in other areas of international law.

Download or read book The System of Unfair Competition Prevention in Japan written by Christopher Heath and published by Springer. This book was released on 2001-05-02 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first in-depth treatment in English of Japanese law and practice governing unfair competition. The author analyzes the interaction of the relevant laws - and the case law derived from each - to present a systematic description of how business reputation, trade secrets, well-known marks, and other aspects of business achievement and investment are protected against undue exploitation in Japan. Prohibited acts of unfair competition covered include: misappropriation by confusion or passing-off; misappropriation through breach of trust or fiduciary duty; slavish imitation of distinct product features; trade mark piracy; tortious acts of denigration, libel, and slander; direct interference by, e.g., boycott or bribery; undue exercise of intellectual property rights; and misleading indications on goods and services (e.g., of geographical origin). Several problematic areas - in particular, the obstacles to effective enforcement, and the lack of adequate protection for consumers against acts of unfair competition - are given particular emphasis. The book concludes with cogent proposals on how the Japanese system could be improved and developed, referring to the model provisions of the World Intellectual Property Organization and offering a new and original draft Unfair Competition Act. Any business person or investor interested in the Japanese market will benefit enormously from this practical and insightful volume.
Download or read book The Law of Unfair Competition and Trade Marks written by Harry Dwight Nims and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 964 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Law of Unfair Competition and Trade-Marks: With Chapters on Good-Will, Trade Secrets, Defamation of Competitors and Their Goods, Registration of Trade-Marks Under the Federal Trade-Mark Act, Price Cutting, Etc The law of Unfair Competition might well be called the book of rules of the business game. It gives far greater protection against unfair practices used in competition than is realized by the average business man. It is still in its infancy. Its possibilities of growth and effectiveness are almost unlimited. It started by regulating only one unfair practice, viz: substitution, or the act of offering or selling one brand of goods when the buyer has asked for another brand. To-day its principles are being applied to most commercial practices that are unfair, or, as the French law terms it, disloyal. The rules of Unfair Competition are not arbitrary pronounce ments of courts. The formulation of these rules has been an almost spontaneous process, growing out of the discussion and decision of cases where injustice and wrong have been suffered because of the use of oppressive and unfair methods of competi tion. These cases have been decided, not by the application of abstruse technical legal doctrines, but by the application of the same simple standards of right and wrong that are recognized and applied by the public in daily life outside the court house. This law promises great things for the future of our business life. When the great war ends, there is every reason to believe that men will turn to business problems with a clarified vision of right and fairness. When that time comes, there should come with it a fairer chance for all. There should be cleaner, squarer business (which, it is already being demonstrated, can exist without curtailing our competitive system), and in our commercial life of the future, this body of law should play a most important and salutary part.

Download or read book Unfair Trading Practices written by Dennis Campbell and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 1997-09-17 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of unfair trading practices constitutes a breach of the law against unfair competition. The principle of freedom of competition is vital to any market. Without it, there exists no protection against large companies' obtaining monopolies and then ruthlessly exercising market dominance. The ability of other companies to freely compete with such entities is necessary to protect consumers from, for example, highly inflated prices. On the other hand, the right to compete must be tempered to avoid abuse by traders using unscrupulous methods to sell products or services. Such misuse also threatens to impede the businesses of others and breach the principle of fair competition. This subject is particularly relevant in today's society, where competition plays such an important role and new technologies, such as the Internet, provide more and more room for competition. This special volume of the Comparative Law Yearbook of International Business addresses this important, controversial subject. It gives a country-by-country account of the provisions and procedures laid down in various jurisdictions worldwide. Each contribution is provided by a leading practitioner in the area of competition law. As a result, Unfair Trading Practices is a useful tool for anyone having to deal with unfair acts in the course of trading.

Download or read book Towards a European Unfair Competition Law written by Rogier W. De Vrey and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2006 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main aim of this book is to discuss the state of unfair competition law in the European Union. In this respect, the various efforts that have been made in the past to come to harmonization of this area of law and the reasons that they were only partially successful are reviewed. In addition, the International and European regulations that refer to unfair competition, like, e.g., the Paris Convention, the TRIPs and the recent 2004 Unfair Commercial Practices Directive are discussed. Also an overview is given of the unfair competition laws in the United Kingdom, Germany and the Netherlands with respect to the 'problem-areas' of slavish imitation, misleading advertising, denigrating one's competitor, trade secrets and finally, misappropriation of valuable trade assets. Unfair competition law is traditionally considered part of intellectual property law. Not only the relation of unfair competition law to intellectual property laws are therefore part of the discussion but also the areas of consumer protection law (since unfair competition law is partly orientated towards consumer protection) and competition (as an economic concept) is the topic of thorough review.
