Animal law, horse law and animal liability in Germany

Brands, innovation & advertising

Home / Animal law services

Protect animal health technology and brands, review product claims and respond to competitor challenges.

Protect the business assets

Names, packaging, inventions, software and confidential know-how need different forms of protection. We assess trade marks, designs, patent questions and ownership in development agreements. Freedom to operate and protection of your own invention are separate questions.

Claims across product categories

A feed claim, a veterinary medicine claim and an equipment performance statement cannot be reviewed under a single standard. We connect regulatory classification with advertising law. Comparative claims, testimonials, influencer marketing and environmental statements should be supported and properly presented.

Warnings, injunctions and enforcement

A cease-and-desist letter requires rapid review of the conduct, standing, requested undertaking and costs. An undertaking can create lasting contractual exposure. For urgent proceedings, preserving the actual packaging, website versions and publication dates is essential.

Example: a competitor copies packaging

The assessment may involve registered rights, distinctive presentation, misleading origin and contractual misuse of artwork. We identify the strongest available basis and the evidence needed before seeking an injunction or negotiating a market solution.

Preparing for advice

Please provide the relevant contracts or official correspondence, a dated account of events and any technical or veterinary reports. Identify the parties, the country or German state involved, and every known deadline. We will agree the appropriate next step after reviewing the documents.
