MÜLLER PAPARIS
EXPERTISE · COMPANIES, CONTRACTS & TRANSACTIONS

Act fairly in the market. Effectively defend against unfair interference.

We advise companies on advertising, distribution, market presence, competitor conduct and the protection of business assets. Risks are assessed before campaigns are launched and infringements are pursued in a targeted manner.

How can we support you?

A campaign or statement is to be published

Comparisons, prices, promises and presentation should be legally defensible.

What we do for you

Clearly defined services.

Advertising & campaign review

We review statements, comparisons, price indications and communication risks.

Protection against unfair competition

We assess imitation, exploitation of reputation, deception and other market practices.

Trade secrets

We design protective measures and act in cases of unauthorised use or disclosure.

Distribution matters

We review exclusivity, solicitation, market presence and contractual non-compete clauses.

Enforcement & defence

We secure evidence, draft cease-and-desist letters and represent clients in interim and ordinary proceedings.

SPEED WITH PROPORTIONALITY

In the market, a delayed response can cost more than a clear early assessment.

Unfair competition matters lie between creative freedom and legal boundaries. We distinguish between robust competition that must be accepted and conduct against which targeted action should be taken.

How we work
01

Record the market and the statement

We clarify the product, target group, communication, competitors and available evidence.

02

Assess risk or claim

We evaluate the legal position, urgency and economic impact.

03

Approve, adapt or act

We recommend adjustments or implement protective and defence measures.

Considered in context

Trade mark law

Likelihood of confusion and rights in distinctive signs frequently overlap with unfair competition law.

Copyright law

Copied texts, images and designs may involve additional protective rights.

Litigation

In urgent market infringements, interim measures can be decisive.
