Unfair Competition Law (UWG)

To Successfully Defend Your Market Position

Not all innovations can be protected through formal intellectual property rights. However, the German Act Against Unfair Competition (UWG) provides effective, complementary protection for competitive achievements. We support you in safeguarding your market position, defending against attacks, and consistently taking action against unfair practices by competitors.

What can we do for you?

We advise and represent you comprehensively in matters of unfair competition law, in particular in the following areas:

  • Advertising and Marketing Strategies
    Legal guidance in the development and implementation of advertising concepts – from websites and brochures to promotional materials, packaging, package inserts, and product labeling, including the legal review of advertising claims.
  • Defense of Your Measures
    Judicial and extrajudicial defense of advertising and marketing measures as well as product designs against cease-and-desist letters and other legal objections.
  • Enforcement of Your Claims
    Consistent action against unfair advertising, unfair product imitations, and other unfair business practices by competitors.
  • Protection of Trade Secrets
    Development and implementation of effective defense strategies in cases of misappropriation or misuse of trade secrets.
