Unfair Competition

Ensuring Fairness in Economic Endeavors

In the dynamic landscape of commerce, maintaining integrity and fairness is paramount. Unfair competition poses a threat to the principles of honesty and transparency in economic interactions, necessitating robust legal frameworks to safeguard the interests of all participants.

In Turkey, the regulation of unfair competition is governed by the provisions outlined in the 6102 numbered Turkish Commercial Law.

Understanding Unfair Competition

Unfair competition encompasses a broad spectrum of deceptive practices and abuses of economic competition that undermine goodwill and integrity. While exclusive protection is afforded to registered trademarks, designs, patents, and other industrial property rights, the protection of unregistered names, titles, signs, and promotional instruments falls under the purview of unfair competition provisions.

The concept of unfair competition is meticulously delineated within the framework of Article 54 of the Turkish Commercial Law. This legislation aims to foster honest and incorrupt competition that benefits all participants. Deceptive practices that contravene integrity rules, adversely affect relationships between competitors, suppliers, and customers, or distort commercial practices are deemed unfair and unlawful.
