The problem of unfair competition in modern Russia is extremely acute and urgent. Every day arbitration courts consider a significant number of cases on this category of disputes, however, the situation does not change dramatically.Especially acute is the problem of legal regulation of anticompetitive agreements concluded by business entities.
