After the 1980s, there was a significant evolution in the relationship among antitrust, business tort, and unfair competition law.

Will survey the fields of unfair competition, commercial disparagement and defamation, interference torts, the torts of fraud and negligent misrepresentation, misappropriation of trade secrets, and state consumer fraud.
