Competition law

In the business world you are not only surrounded by partners, but also by competitors. Competition is a fundamental element of our market economy. Without regulation however the market would spin out of control. These regulations include competition law which, for instance, forbids unfair advertising; trademark law which protects commercial terms and symbols; copyright law which protects intellectual property and antitrust law which prevents the misuse of strong market positions. We will support you in the formulation of contracts in this legal area (e.g. licence agreements); in the defence of your rights against attacks by third parties (e.g. by adhortatory letter) or in the examination of your negotiating options when restricted by third party rights (e.g. by checking advertising measures or recommending designs which do not infringe either the rights of third parties or statutory provisions).
