competitor slander
Our competitor is saying bad things about our machines, such as they catch on fire and don't work to potential and current customers. What can I do?

Re: competitor slander
If you can prove the statements are false and if you can prove that you have been damaged, you may have a case for defamation. Consult with a local attorney.

Re: competitor slander
I generally recommend a demand letter demanding that the statement cease or face a lawsuit for defamation (and possibly other claims). You may also want to include a demand for monetary damages if the statements have caused any harm to your business. If they don't respond to the letter, you may want to consider filing the law suit.
If you would like to discuss any issues further, please feel free to contact my office. My contact information is below. Thank you.
