MOSK, J.
I concur in the majority opinion insofar as it holds that disgorgement of sums obtained in violation of section 17203 of the Business and Professions Code is not “damages” for “advertising injury” caused by “unfair competition” under the policy. In my view, the opinion should conclude with the statement of this principle and its application to the facts of the case.
Discussion of the second point made by the majority, that there must be a causal connection between “advertising injury” and “advertising activities,” and that such a connection was not established, is entirely unnecessary to the opinion. I express no view as to its validity.
Kennard, J., concurred.
