Unfair Competition Law

The book contains an overview of unfair competition law for the protection of intellectual and industrial creations in the EU, the USA and other jurisdictions, such as Canada, Australia and South Africa. It also contains a comparative theoretical study into the legal and economic justification of the law of unfair competition. An original and distinctive book, the author explores the alternative to a protective regime based on unfair competition doctrines, and examines the themes of economic justification, shaping legal boundaries, finding a legal justification, practical application and harmonization of national laws.
