What is the legal definition of unfair competition?
Unfair competition occurs when a person employs deception or acts contrary to good faith to pass off their goods or services as those of another. This includes any action calculated to benefit from the goodwill established by a different business entity. Section 168.2 Intellectual Property Code of the Philippines makes such individuals guilty of unfair competition and subjects them to legal action. This protection is vital for maintaining a fair and honest marketplace for all competitors,. “168.2. Any person who shall employ deception… by which he shall pass off the goods manufactured by him… for those of the one having established such goodwill… shall be guilty of unfair competition” January 7, 2026About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
