Wir begleiten Sie bei der Durchsetzung Ihrer Ansprüche, um sicherzustellen, dass Ihr Unternehmen in einem fairen Marktumfeld agieren kann.

Legally compliant design of advertising

Unlautere Werbung ist regelmäßig Gegenstand von wettbewerbsrechtlichen Abmahnungen und stellt ein ernstes Risiko für Unternehmen dar. Neben irreführenden Werbeaussagen kann auch das Fehlen von gesetzlich vorgeschriebenen Pflichtinformationen sowie die Missachtung von Kennzeichnungsvorschriften einen Wettbewerbsverstoß begründen. Um Risiken zu vermeiden, ist eine umfassende rechtliche Beratung unerlässlich. Mit langjähriger Erfahrung im Wettbewerbsrecht unterstützen wir Unternehmen dabei, ihre Werbemaßnahmen rechtssicher zu gestalten. Dabei können vorherige Prüfungen von Werbematerialien, Online-Shops oder Produktverpackungen das Risiko einer wettbewerbsrechtlichen Abmahnung erheblich minimieren und Unternehmen vor wirtschaftlichen Einbußen bewahren.

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:

  1. Competitor:
    Supplementary competitive performance protection only exists in relation to the competitor.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
