(§ 7612, subd. (a); see In re Zacharia D., supra, 6 Cal.4th at p. 450, fn. 18 , 24 Cal.Rptr.2d 751 , 862 P.2d 751 [UPA presumption of one man "was rebutted by blood tests establishing that [another man] was the biological father"].)

(1971) 21 Cal.App.3d 513, 518 , 98 Cal.Rptr. 543 ( Dooley's Hardware), that a UPA defendant may rebut the statutory presumption of intent or purpose to injure competitors or destroy competition "either by evidence tending to bring them within one of the exceptions to the prohibitions contained in the Act or by evidence establishing otherwise that they did not have the requisite wrongful intent."

The Court concluded, “although the [UPA] recognizes both genetic consanguinity and giving birth as means of establishing a mother and child relationship, when the two means do not coincide in one woman, she who intended to procreate the child—that is, she who intended to bring about the birth of a child that she int

2004As noted, the "conclusive" presumption under section 7540 is *253 also a section 7611 UPA presumption, and the majority concedes that, under section 7541, subdivision (a), this "conclusive presumption ... is rebutted by evidence of biological fatherhood." (Maj. opn., ante, 10 Cal.Rptr.3d at p. 224 , 85 P.3d at p. 19 .) However, under the majority's view, the non conclusive presumptions under section 7611 are not necessarily rebutted by evidence of biological fatherhood.
