Protection against unfair competition

Unfair competition conduct in the competitive market may take the form of borrowing, copying and imitation of company's trade name and other commercial designation, trademark and unregistered brand logo, product or package design, domain name and website content, decoration of shop windows and sales premises.  
Registration of another's designation as a trademark, abuse of a dominant position, use of means of individualisation which are confusingly similar to the objects of competitors may be considered acts of unfair competition.
