Unfair competition is one of the most common violations of antimonopoly regulation in most of the CIS countries. Often linked to infringement of intellectual property rights, unfair competition can create a significant threat not only to the reputation of companies, but can also negatively affect their business. Deceptive advertising represent a similar violation. Relevant violations are usually examined by the same competent state authority.
The articles in this brochure contain more detailed information about regulation of unfair competition and deceptive advertising at the national level in a number of post-Soviet countries. The articles were prepared by lawyers from Dentons' offices in the various CIS countries and by our partner, the K&P law firm (Armenia).
