Competition Law

Competition law describes the rules of fair play in the market. The German Act against Unfair Competition (in German: UWG) is a sharp and quick tool in the daily struggle against unfair practices. Unfair competition, such as misleading advertising or aggressive commercial practices, usually relate to companies that compete for the end users of their products.
