What does the 'deception' aspect of unfair competition involve?

The 'deception' aspect of unfair competition primarily involves one party deceiving the public to boost sales. This encompasses a range of practices where misleading or false representations are made to create a false impression about a product, service, or company in order to gain an unfair advantage over competitors or manipulate consumer behavior. This can include misleading advertising, packaging, or communications that distort the truth about what is being offered.

Using false information about product effectiveness specifically refers to claims made about a product that lack basis in fact, which falls under the broader category of deception but doesn't capture the full scope of how deception can manifest in unfair competition. Transparent pricing systems and truthful advertising of all claims don’t align with the concept of deception at all; instead, they reflect ethical business practices aimed at ensuring honesty and transparency in business operations.
