Description
This course explores federal and state laws that protect the right of a business to enter markets and compete fairly. These laws and related laws also protect consumers against deceptive practices. With an eye to integrating recent developments, such as the Napster case, involving advertising and sales through the Internet, the course examines common law and statutory business torts; trademark, trade name and copyright laws; and Federal Trade Commission and state law regulation of false or deceptive advertising.
