1. What should I do if someone slanders our company's reputation?
If someone slanders the company's reputation, they can collect evidence, hand it over to the police, pursue certain legal responsibilities and safeguard the company's reputation, or settle it privately through consultation.
Second, there are several ways of reputation infringement.
Insult: refers to the act of publicly damaging the personality and reputation of others by words (including written and oral) or actions. Such as insulting, mocking and humiliating others with big-character posters, small-character posters, cartoons or extremely obscene language.
Defamation: refers to the act of fabricating and spreading some false facts to damage the reputation of others. If you fabricate others' bad work style or create shadows without any basis, and publicize and damage others' reputation everywhere, it will cause great pain to others' spirit.
Insult and slander are common acts of reputation infringement.
Article 1024 of the Civil Code stipulates that the civil subject enjoys the right of reputation. No organization or individual may infringe upon the reputation right of others by insulting or slandering. It is forbidden to damage the reputation of others by insulting or slandering. Infringement on the reputation right of a legal person is mainly manifested in spreading false news that damages the reputation of a legal person, such as fabricating some facts, falsely claiming that the products of a factory are inferior in quality, and trying to bring down the other party by unfair competition. These are all violations of the reputation right of legal persons.
Third, what is the standard of infringement of the right of reputation?
1. The actor objectively has a fact that damages the reputation of others and is known by a third party.
The infringer has insulted or slandered. The so-called insult refers to the act of publicly damaging the personality and reputation of others by words or actions. Insult can be done orally or by behavior. Its manifestation is to spread existing defects or other facts that are detrimental to people's social evaluation, so as to discredit others and humiliate them, which can be called "much ado about nothing"
2. The actor is subjectively at fault.
From a legal point of view, the subjective fault of public figures in bringing a lawsuit of reputation infringement should be based on whether the actor has actual malice. Even if there is no actual malicious behavior, it should not be considered as infringement.
3. The object of infringement should be a specific person.
A specific person refers to a specific natural person or legal person. If there is no specific person, there is no such thing as a victim in law. However, if some literary works insult or slander a specific person in their descriptions, although they use code names or pen names, readers can know who they are referring to at a glance, which obviously cannot deny the author's infringement just because he uses code names or pen names. Therefore, if the designated object is a specific person in a specific environment and under specific conditions, even if the name is not named, it can also constitute an infringement on the reputation right of others.
4. The consequence is that the infringer's behavior has caused serious damage to the victim's reputation, making the victim feel unfair social pressure or psychological burden, mentally tortured and psychologically traumatized.
