On March 22, 2021, an article «New Supreme Court plenum resolution provides guidance on unfair competition issues» was published, in which Irina Ozolina comments on a plenum resolution of the Supreme Court «On some issues arising from the application of the antitrust law by the courts». She highlights that the resolution specifically points out that a mere breach of civil or other laws, including IP rights infringement, does not always constitute an unfair competition action and along with that it provides additional criteria to help ascertain whether the general requirements of unfair competition are met.
