                     UNFAIR COMPETITION 3D



Generally

D.R.I.2019. Cit. generally in ftn. Medical-device manufacturer brought a lawsuit against competitor,
alleging, inter alia, that defendant misappropriated plaintiff's trade secrets and breached a confidential
relationship. This court granted in part defendant's motion to exclude the opinions of plaintiff s expert
witness, holding that the expert's opinions rested on an unsound factual basis. The court noted that, in
plaintiff's claim that it was entitled to recover all earned revenue from defendant's sales attributable to
the misappropriation, plaintiff also argued that, under Restatement Third of Unfair Competition, the
burden of apportioning revenue was placed on defendant. Alifax Holding SpA v. Alcor Scientific Inc.,

                         CHAPTER 1. THE FREEDOM TO COMPETE

§ 1. General Principles

D.Ariz.2019. Com.  (a) quot. in disc. Manufacturer of pool float brought, among other things, a claim for

record did not support a finding that defendants attempted to engage in unfair competition. The court
explained that plaintiff failed to provide evidence that the online marketplace presented defendants'
product as plaintiff s, which was necessary to establish that defendants infringed upon plaintiff's
freedom to engage in business and competition under Restatement Third of Unfair Competition § 1,

§ 3. Commercial  Detriment of Another

S.D.Fla.2019. Com. (b) quot. in case quot. in sup. The Federal Trade Commission brought an action for
a preliminary injunction against healthcare indemnity provider and subsidiaries, alleging, inter alia, that
defendants falsely represented to customers that defendants' healthcare indemnities were
comprehensive, meaning  that they covered a variety of medical procedures, and were qualified health-
insurance plans under the Affordable Care Act. This court granted plaintiff s motion for a preliminary
injunction, holding that plaintiff was likely to succeed on the merits, because defendants made material
misrepresentations to its customers. The court relied on Restatement Third of Unfair Competition § 3,
Comment   b, in defining material representation, and explained that defendants' representations were
