Competition law
The law of unfair competition (UWG) defines the principles of fair economic behavior each company shall adhere to whilst competing in supply and demand of economic output. It serves to protect competitors and consumers and it is in the general interest to ensure undistorted competition.
Furthermore special regulations are to be observed i.e. Drug Advertising Law and regulations of Food Law and Medicinal Product Law.
Competitors can have the classification of products reviewed in expedited proceedings if they are suspected false.
