Slander of title

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In law, slander of title is normally a claim involving real estate in which one entity falsely claims to own another entity's property. Alternatively, it is casting aspersion on someone else' property, business or goods e.g. claiming a house is haunted [when it isn't] or saying a product infringes copyright or patent when it does not in order to discredit it. A form of jactitation. [1]
