UNFAIR COMPETITION

The German Act against Unfair Competition provides a fairly comprehensive and strict set of rules, forming a basis for claims against unfair business behavior amongst competitors. On this basis, actions may be brought forward against unfair and misleading advertising and promotional methods. Moreover, it may grant protection against copying of products including software, and thus complements other forms of protection, such as copyright or design law.

Attorneys of Grünecker, Kinkeldey, Stockmair & Schwanhäusser working in this field have longstanding experience in counseling clients and representing them before national courts.
