It depends on what you mean. If you mean is it illegal to design a shirt then put a major brand label's logo on your shirt, for instance, the Coca-Cola brand logo, yes, that is illegal.

Price discrimination is a strategy wherein identical goods or services are sold at different prices to different customers. It can occur when the seller is aware of the maximum amount customers are willing to pay for a product, when the price fluctuates based upon supply and demand, or when a price is altered based upon location, customer segment, or individual customer identity. In some situations, or parts of the world, depending upon the type of price discrimination, the practice may be considered unethical or even illegal.
Sales managers have important ethical responsibilities, both concerning their own ethics and concerning the ethics of their sales personnel. Sales managers can often be faced with ethical dilemmas in terms of hiring, setting a sales quota, and in evaluating and enforcing ethical standards they expect upheld by their salespeople. These ethical dilemmas are often more pressurized than those encountered by individuals in other professions. Sales managers tend to be unsupervised, they hold primary responsibility for the firm's revenue, they must be unique problem-solvers, and are often evaluated based on achievement of short-term objectives. Ethical dilemmas do not excuse illegal behavior. Lying to a customer on a phone call is unethical, but things like embezzlement are both unethical and illegal. The law, however, cannot possibly regulate all aspects of life - and few people expect it to. People, then, understand that this calls for a personal code of ethics when the law cannot govern. When carrying out their jobs, sales managers must be ethical in their actions toward consumers as well as their sales personnel, and they must also do everything in accordance with federal and state law.

Illegal behaviors in business refer to actions that violate laws or regulations, such as fraud or embezzlement, while unethical behaviors encompass actions that may not be illegal but are morally questionable, such as misleading advertising or exploitation of workers. Although not all unethical behaviors are illegal, illegal actions are inherently unethical as they disregard legal standards. Both types of behavior can harm a company's reputation, lead to financial penalties, and erode trust among stakeholders. Ultimately, fostering an ethical culture can help prevent both illegal and unethical practices in business.
Not necessarily. While unethical behavior may violate moral principles or standards, it may not always be explicitly prohibited by law. However, many illegal acts are also considered unethical.
