Unfair competition and industrial espionage

Detecting episodes of internal and external unfair competition and protecting yourself in time is the best way to safeguard your business’ competitiveness.

WHAT WE CAN DO FOR YOUR COMPANY

The goal is double: checking if someone is already selling confidential information, patents, projects or strategies of your company and preventing this from happening in the near future.

Group Top Secret investigators, in collaboration with lawyers from our team, carry out investigations to gather concrete evidence documenting unfair internal or external competition. Our investigations are able to demonstrate any violation provided for in Article 2598 of the Italian Civil Code.

Furthermore, we prevent unfair competition episodes through investigations verifying references, previous career and possible connections of new employees with competing companies.

Unfair competition and industrial espionage: side effects for the company

Unfair competition and industrial espionage are crimes that can seriously damage your company from an economic and financial point of view and not only:

Loss of customers and / or suppliers | Reduction of turnover | Reputation/image damage

The temptation of “playing dirty”. What is tempting to unscrupulous competitors

The temptation of “playing dirty” for some companies is very strong. So much so that you are willing to buy sensitive information about your business from your employees or former employees or start illegal industrial espionage activities.

The problem is that in most cases this crime (according to Article 2598 of the Italian Civil Code) can only be discovered once it has been committed. Moreover, proving this illicit information trading is not that simple.

There is a lot of information that appeals to unscrupulous competitors. From the names of your customers and suppliers, to your patents, to your market research and all the information they can use to compromise your projects and strategies.

What is unfair competition

Unfair competition is conducted by a market participant who obtains or seeks to obtain an advantage over his rivals through deceptive, misleading, dishonest, fraudulent, coercive or unreasonable conduct in trade.

Unfair competition is one of the main causes of economic damage to companies, both in terms of the loss of customers and/or suppliers it causes and the reduction in turnover.

The forms of unfair competition can be many, ranging from the betrayal of loyal employees to industrial espionage and the misuse of competition by competitors.

The damages resulting from these practices are just as numerous: not only do you risk losing the human and material resources with which you work on a daily basis, but also the good name of the company may suffer, along with its image.

In order to avoid this, it is therefore very important to keep the possible damage resulting from unfair competition under control.

In Italy, unfair competition is an offence punishable by imprisonment from 6 months to 5 years, and a fine from €5,000 to €100,000. Italy has various special laws to counteract unfair behaviour by competitors:

IS YOUR COMPANY WILLING TO RISK LOSING CUSTOMERS AND/OR SUPPLIERS, AND SEEING ITS TURNOVER REDUCED?

WHAT IF THE DAMAGE TO YOUR COMPANY’S REPUTATION AND IMAGE IS IRRECOVERABLE?

That would be a nightmare situation, wouldn’t it? Well, sorry to say, it could happen.

Have you ever wondered how your employees handle your company’s data? How your competitors move in the market? Or what kind of information is at risk of being stolen by your suppliers?

If you have any doubts, then our Unfair Competition and Industrial Espionage service is right for you.

We investigate whether your employees are stealing information about your customers and suppliers and whether anyone is using your brand or products/services illegally, and we help you strengthen all your systems for protecting and sharing confidential information.

In addition, we will explain how to protect yourself against this type of behaviour and how to identify possible cases of unfair competition in your companies.
