Abstract. The author
analyses the different types of unfair competition practices of the employees
against their employers and legal remedies under the Slovak law. In current
business environment with highly developed competition in the various economic
sectors, we can observe more frequent occurrence of various types of unfair
competition practices. These practices occur both in relation of employees to
their current employers as well as former employees. Not always „private
competitive business“ of former employees can be considered an unlawful conduct.
Currently, employers in litigation proceedings regarding unfair competition of
their employers are clearly getting the short end. Means of legal protection
against these harmful conducts are primarily contained in the provisions of the
Commercial Code, the Labour Code, legislation on intellectual property rights
and the others.
Key words: employee,
employer, competition, know-how, conduct contributing towards mistaken identity,
parasitic use of reputation, violation of trade secret
