What is business to business tort litigation?
Business torts involve any number of intentional wrongs that are done, one business to another, in the course of operations, including:
- Business Disparagement
- Business Defamation
- Business Libel
- Business Slander
- Copyright Infringement
- Embezzlement
- False advertising
- Predatory Pricing
- Price-fixing
- Theft of Intellectual Property
- Tortious interference with business relationships
- Tortious interference with business contracts
- Trademark Infringement
- Unfair business practices
- Unfair competition.
In the ordinary commercial transaction between two businesses, each party’s obligations are clearly delineated in the written agreement, or contract. When business to business torts are involved, a business files suit to recover legal damages that have resulted from another business’ illegal or wrongful interference with its operations, or the disparagement or defamation of the business or one of its products or operations, as well as any other form of unfair or deceptive trade practice that exists outside the scope of a breach of contract claim.
