<\/strong>The article examines the role of increasing business awareness of the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine\u2019s powers as a preventive mechanism for protecting intellectual property rights against unfair competition. It is substantiated that in today\u2019s knowledge- and innovation-based economy, the effective protection of intangible assets requires not only the improvement of legal mechanisms but also the development of a culture of fair competition and an appropriate level of legal awareness among business entities. The study analyzes the recommendations of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development Secretariat and the findings of the UK Competition and Markets Authority on business awareness of competition law. The article demonstrates that competition advocacy should be regarded not merely as an information and communication activity of a competition authority, but as a strategic instrument of public policy aimed at preventing competition law violations, strengthening intellectual property rights protection, and enhancing the competitiveness of Ukrainian businesses. The study also proposes directions for improving public policy in the field of competition advocacy and increasing the legal awareness of business entities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
