Distribution, Antitrust, Competition

We have extensive experience in establishing national and international distribution networks under Austrian and European Community franchising and distribution laws.

We provide advice on all aspects of competition law throughout Europe, including national and international mergers, and we represent clients in competition and state aid proceedings.

Competition law and intellectual property litigation is another area we specialise in. We successfully represent clients in actions for unfair competition, trade¬mark infringement and patent and copyright disputes, including the use of injunctive measures where necessary. In cases where the issue is determining in advance the permissibility under competition law of a planned advertising campaign, our competition specialists will deploy the entire breadth of their knowledge and expertise. We handle trademark registrations and intellectual property litigation, both in Austria and internationally.
