Competition law

Competition law protects the integrity of the market and ensures fair competition. It focuses in particular on fair competition, the prevention of unfair practices, and the enforcement of legitimate claims.

Competition law not only protects your own rights, but also helps to ensure that marketing, advertising, and sales activities comply with the law.

Subject Matter of Competition Law

Competition law focuses in particular on:

  • Misleading advertising or inaccurate information about products and services,
  • Comparative advertising,
  • Obstruction or damage to competitors through unfair business practices,
  • Violations of laws, standards, or rules of conduct in the market.

The aim is to ensure a fair market, prevent consumer deception, and make competition between market participants transparent.

Copyright

Copyright protects intellectual creations in literature, science, and art. It grants the author personal and economic rights to their works, regardless of whether they are registered or not.

Design law

A strong design is often the first impression a product makes on customers—and is therefore a decisive competitive factor. Design law protects this creative achievement and ensures that creative ideas cannot be freely imitated by competitors.
