Unfair competition

Harsh rivalry over customers can often lead businesses to engage in unlawful activities leading to unfair competition on the market. We help our clients effectively fight with such practices.

We advise clients and represent them within the scope of misleading markings, goods or services, infringements of goodwill (including parasitic use of someone else’s reputation), infringements of trade secrets or know-how, unlawful imitation of products or their packaging (parasitic imitation, look-alikes), hindering market access, and unlawful shelf fees.

We handle court disputes pertaining to unfair competition and advise on the optimal litigation strategy.
