Advice on competition law

Competition law protects companies from unfair business practices and ensures fair competitive conditions. Optimal legal advice is therefore of crucial importance. Our services include the analysis of competitive relationships, the drafting and review of contracts and the enforcement of claims in the event of competition law infringements. Our experienced lawyers and specialist lawyers will support you in protecting your laws in competition law and help you to defend yourself against unfair practices. We support you in enforcing your claims to ensure that your company can operate in a fair market environment.

Legally compliant design of advertising

Unfair advertising is regularly the subject of cease and desist letters under competition law and represents a serious risk for companies. In addition to misleading advertising statements, the lack of legally prescribed mandatory information and the disregard of labeling regulations can also constitute an infringement of competition law. In order to avoid risks, comprehensive legal advice is essential. With many years of experience in competition law, we support companies in making their advertising measures legally compliant. Prior checks of advertising materials, online stores or product packaging can significantly minimize the risk of a competition law cease and desist letter and protect companies from economic losses.

What is

complementary competitive

Performance protection?

Supplementary protection of competitive performance also restricts the freedom of imitation for services that are not protected by statutory regulations such as patent, trademark, design or copyright law. Supplementary competitive performance protection protects goods and services from unfair imitation.

Imitations can not only be identical or almost identical products, but also so-called “copycat acquisitions”, i.e. products for which an existing product was used as a model.

Prerequisites:

Competitor:
Supplementary competitive performance protection only exists in relation to the competitor.
Competitive character:
The counterfeited product must have a competitive character, i.e. its design must be suitable for indicating its commercial origin or its special features.
Imitation:
The competitor must have been aware of the product that served as a model. The imitation must at least partially correspond to the original product in terms of its competitive character and be offered as the competitor’s own service.
Unfairness:
There must be additional circumstances that justify the unfairness of the competitor’s conduct, such as the exploitation of the reputation of the counterfeit product.

Legally compliant drafting of contracts

The drafting of contracts is another relevant factor in competition law. Contractual provisions and general terms and conditions (GTC) that comply with competition law are essential in order to minimize legal risks and guarantee fair competitive conditions. Companies that do not adapt their contracts to the requirements of competition law risk infringing competition law. By providing sound legal advice, we identify potential risks and ensure that your regulations comply with current legal requirements. In this way, we not only protect your company, but also promote fair competition in your sector.

However, competition law disputes can also arise after thorough preparation. Last but not least, information can become outdated and no longer legally compliant as a result of legal changes or court rulings. Whether it concerns cease and desist letters or unfair conduct by competitors – we represent your interests competently and consistently enforce your laws against infringers. Our aim is to develop quick and effective solutions to limit the damage and strengthen your market position.
