Unfair Competition Law

Advice

The unfair competition law seeks to promote fair behaviour in markets. It thus prohibits any deceitful behaviour or behaviour contravening the principle of good faith, or business conduct which influences the relationship between competitors or between suppliers and customers.

In our experience, the activities of «modern» imitators occur within a grey area of traditional intellectual property rights which can make it considerably more difficult to enforce defence claims. In such cases, the unfair competition law can be a very effective instrument.

Against this background, we provide comprehensive advice in the area of unfair competition law, either for the purpose of avoiding disputes with third parties or authorities or for enforcing your rights against third parties.

Legal Disputes

In the case of disputes, we litigate on your behalf to enforce your rights to combat acts of unfair competition or assist with any actions brought against you under unfair competition law.
