Coupling the scale invariant unparticle sector to flavour physics and assuming that it remains scale invariant we investigate its consequences in heavy flavour physics. A drastic feature of unparticle physics is an unusual phase leading to novel CP violating phenomena. We consider the CP asymmetry in the leptonic decay B^+ -> tau^+ nu and the hadronic decay B_d -> D^+D^-, taking into account constraints of branching ratios and time dependent CP asymmetries. Generic plots are shown and it turns out that there exist parameters for which the CP violation is maximal. A prediction of a large CP asymmetry in B_d -> D^+D^- is difficult to achieve in other models without contradicting the current data in other channels. The prediction of a CP asymmetry in leptonic decays, such as B^+ -> tau^+ nu, is novel. We identify the CP compensating mode due to the unparticles and show explicitly that it exactly cancels the CP asymmetry of B^+ -> tau^+ nu as demanded by CPT invariance. Building up on earlier works we investigate the breaking of scale invaricance, due to the coupling to the Higgs and the size of the effects in the weak sector resorting to a dimensional analysis. An enhancement is observed on the grounds of the relevance of the unparticle interaction operator as compared to the weak four-Fermi term.
