Unfair competition

Unfair competition

Competition is the motivating force behind innovation and the free market. It compels businesses and start-ups to constantly pursue better ideas, more efficient practices, and superior products and services. Competition also ensures options for consumers, so that our purchases can reflect our personal tastes, needs, and preferences. However, some rules exist to protect innovative thinkers and businesses. Theft, sabotage, and intentional efforts to confuse consumers are unfair. Common law, Washington State law, and federal law disallow certain kinds of unfair competition. Tortious interference with a contractual relationship is recognized as grounds for a civil suit under federal and state law. If you are the victim of unfair competition, our attorneys stand ready to fight for you.
