The court affirmed the partial granting of preliminary injunctions against a competitor regarding advertising claims for a drug treating renal anemia, holding that for such measures under unfair competition law, an unlawful act and an irreparable disadvantage must be made plausible. The court reasoned that advertising for pharmaceuticals, even in professional media, must comply with unfair competition and drug laws, and that the defendants' claims of industry-wide accepted advertising practices were an inadmissible "unclean hands" defense. Furthermore, the alleged disadvantage to the applicant, stemming from threatened market confusion and dilution, as well as reputational harm, qualified as not easily reparable, justifying the injunction pending the main proceedings.
