Unfair competition

Basically, all Intellectual Property Law legislation relates to, and is the result of, basic competition law and rules concerning loyal business conduct between professionals.
The Norwegian Marketing Act is often applicable in cases where the Patent Act, Trademark Act, Design Act or the Copyright Act is not. Typically, the Marketing Act can be invoked in domain name disputes, where the relevant domain name is not used as “a trademark”, and the Trademark Act does not apply. The Marketing Act is also often applicable in instances where there exist no registered rights or copyrights that form the required warrant for legal action.
