Distribution Competition Law
Manufacturers of high-quality branded goods create value that must be presented by authorized retailers in an appropriate sales environment. Every industry requires different approaches to presentation and consultation. Manufacturers use omni-channel concepts that incorporate the manufacturer’s and retailer’s websites and, where applicable, a platform distribution system.
We work with manufacturers to determine where they can reach consumers in a brand-protective manner and develop protection concepts that also stand up in court.
We have many years of experience in the luxury sector (perfume, jewelry, high-quality bags) and also secure distribution control for designer furniture and other products which need consultation.
We defend these selective distribution systems against free riders through trademark, competition and copyright law.
We conduct antitrust compliance training in both companies and associations and explain which activities provide legally secure brand protection.
