Unfair competition under UCL 17200 prohibits any unlawful, unfair, or fraudulent act or practice that harms consumers or other businesses.
Claims often require showing a pattern of deceptive conduct, likelihood of confusion, and evidence of actual or threatened harm.
UCL 17200 is a broad California statute used to stop unfair business practices and obtain relief such as injunctions, damages, and attorney’s fees.
To prevail, a plaintiff must prove an unlawful, unfair, or fraudulent act; causation; and injury. The process includes investigation, pleadings, discovery, negotiation, and, if needed, court action.
These terms help clarify the language used in UCL cases.
A practice that violates law or regulation, including statutes enforced by state or federal authorities.
Conduct causing deception or injury in the market that is not simply a violation of law but also against public policy.
Intentional or reckless false statements that mislead customers or competitors.
Marketing or business tactics designed to mislead, confuse, or gain unfair advantage.
