unfair exploitation of [others'/competitors'] work results Explanation: Or 'dishonest...' To quote myself in another place: There is a broad provision in section 1 of the Gesetz gegen den Unlauteren Wettbewerb (UWG): § 1 [Generalklausel] 1Wer im geschäftlichen Verkehre zu Zwecken des Wettbewerbs Handlungen vornimmt, die gegen die guten Sitten verstoßen, kann auf Unterlassung und Schadensersatz in Anspruch genommen werden. and under this the courts refer to various practices. One of these is 'unmittelbare Übernahme fremder Leistungen', which covers copying. The translation suggestion I got from an out-of-print book, Business Law Guide to Germany, by Strobl, Killius & Vorbrugg. |
