A clear, practical guide to unfair business competition and the law that guards honest trade.
This book examines how courts view fair dealing, remedies, and the boundaries of business rivalry, with a focus on injunctions and the protection of honest competition.
Written by Harry D. Nims and first published in 1909, it surveys the evolution of the law in the United States and England. The text explains what counts as unfair competition, how remedies differ from traditional damages, and why judges emphasize honesty and fair dealing in commercial life. It also clarifies how rights in names, marks, and geographic indications are protected, and how these rules apply in real cases.
