Properties
Instance of
MandatoryCompetitorMisconductReportingObligation
http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#MandatoryCompetitorMisconductReportingObligation
Applied to
Engineer B Licensee Subject to Professional Conduct Complaint
State Licensing Board Complaint Recipient
Balancing with
Anonymous Reporting as Ethical Minimum
Collegial Pre-Reporting Engagement Obligation for Inadvertent Violations
Concrete expression

Importance
high
Interpretation
The reporting obligation applies with equal or greater force when the reporting engineer has no competitive motive, confirming that the duty is grounded in professional integrity rather than self-interest
Invoked by

Tension resolution
The seriousness of the violation and the absence of personal acquaintance with Engineer B support direct reporting to the board rather than prior collegial engagement
