Unfair competition can involve facets of intellectual property in addition to the areas listed above where the parties are direct competitors. Other examples of intellectual property or claims arising from the alleged wrongful use of intellectual property may include: trade dress infringement, false designation of origin, dilution, palming off, reverse palming off, false advertising, and misappropriation.
Each of these potential claims involves certain nuances that distinguish each from the others; however, they all exist in order to protect ingenuity while promoting free and fair competition on one level or another. Balancing the rights of competing parties with the public interest in full, fair, and free competition often can require a comprehensive approach to dispute resolution.
