One large area of unfair competition is what may be called, for lack of a better generic name, false marketing, which used to be called "passing off", and still quite often goes by that designation. It consists of the making of some false misrepresentation to the public, or to third persons, likely to induce them to believe that the goods or services of another are those of the plaintiff. 6, record 1, English, - passing%2Doff
