Trademarks and Design LawUnfair CompetitionComment: A market leader in trademarks and un-

fair competition that has underscored its position

anew: almost all the partners at the IP boutique have

built up a strong reputation in the market for their

comprehensive litigation work. Its forensic expertise

makes HU a regular port of call in fundamental dispu-

tes, where it was recently instructed once again by

Ferrero. Its client base made up of branded-goods ma-

nufacturers and commercial enterprises also frequent-

ly calls on the firm at various interfaces, e.g. in distri-

bution antitrust law. The long-standing and respected

trademark administration practice works with incre-

dible efficiency, to the advantage of HU’s clients.

Furthermore, HU has long maintained excellent con-

tacts with international law firms. It experienced yet

another noticeable hike in activities abroad recently:

not only did it attract an increasing number of clients

(esp. from Scandinavia), the Hamburg lawyers are

also coordinating more litigation strategy procedures

for German clients abroad.

Strengths: Comprehensive, formal trademarks

practice. Legal representation, advice in the commer-

cial, media, ▹food, medicines and cosmetics sectors

(▹healthcare).

Recommended: Rainer Kaase (“well-versed, good

strategist”, client; “exceptional trademarks specialist,

pleasant demeanor”, competitor), Dr. Matthias Wolter

(“highly experienced, esp. in the retail sector; tough

but fair negotiator”, competitor), Dr. Karin Sandberg,

Dr. Martin Kefferpütz (“puts everything into his

work”, “practical solutions”, “extremely competent

and level-headed”, competitor), Dr. Christoph Schu-

mann (“highly experienced, competent and extremely

fair”, competitor), Till Lampel (“trusting collabora-

tion spanning decades, highly experienced in defen-

ding trademark rights”, client), Dr. John-Christian

Plate (“knows what he’s doing”, “reliable and loyal”,

competitor), Dr. Jan Heidenreich (“competent IP spe-

cialist, professional and cooperative in court”,

“well-founded writs”, competitor).

Team: 9 partners, 2 counsel, 8 associates.

Practice: Focus on intellectual property (incl. ▹pa-

tents), unfair competition (incl. pharma advertising),

antitrust and copyrights law besides related fields such

as ▹distribution law. Comprehensive, formal trade-

marks practice. Alongside litigation also specific in-

dustry-related advice.

Clients: • Casco in design lawsuits; • Ferrero in litigation concerning three-dimensional

packaging trademark; • Stada in trademark law and pharma advertising; • all-round soft IP advice to Intersnack; • Bell in litigation on Black Forest ham (ECJ); • ongoing IP advice to Jack Wolfskin and Douglas; • Lidl on trademarks and unfair competition (public

Intellectual PropertyPatent Litigation/Attorneys


Intellectual Property Analysis

Patent Litigation/AttorneysComment: Forming part of the Hamburg IP firm,

the patent practice acts primarily in the local regi-

on and is often found representing defendants in

patent litigation. It recently developed this work

further by gaining new clients, e.g. a pharma ma-

nufacturer that HU is advising in preparation for an

impending lawsuit. A number of companies, incl.

several big names, call on the small team here,

such as generic-drugs manufacturer Aliud Pharma

in the prominent proceedings against Gilead con-

cerning HIV drug Truvada. In a precedent case, the

ECJ recently ruled in favor of the generic-drugs

manufacturer. Besides this, the practice is continu-

ing to build up its client base, for instance in the

packaging and consumer goods industries. At the

same time, the patent application team is often ac-

tive on behalf of companies from the chemistry

and mechanical engineering sectors.

Team: 2 lawyers, 1 patent attorney.

Practice: Patent law litigation and advice in equal

measure. Filing patents, esp. for regular clients.

Very broad-ranging instructions in IP, incl. ▹he-

althcare and ▹food law. Strong ▹trademarks and

unfair competition practice.

Clients:

Litigation: • Aliud Pharma versus Gilead concerning Truvada;• electrical tools supplier against manufacturer; • drinks packaging supplier against coffee capsule

manufacturer concerning EPO opposition.

Prosecution: • Applications on behalf of Bode Chemie, Jelenia Plast,

Panther Packaging, Stulz (all public knowledge).


Strenghts: Pharma advertising

litigation.

Pharmaceuticals and Medical Products

Regulated IndustriesPharmaceuticals and Healthcare


Pharmaceuticals and Medical Products Comment: The team is kept on its toes representing

regular clients primarily in pharma advertising procee-

dings as well as advising on related topics. Headed up

by Kaase, the lawyers are visibly active in demarcation

issues, licensing and distribution contracts and have

recently assisted in more and more contract reviews as

part of transactions. When it comes to providing clients

with all-round advice, the IP boutique cleverly com-

bines its knowledge of IP, pharma and medical-pro-

ducts law. Due to the increasing number of instruc-

tions, one of the firm’s partners, who had previously

given advice in neighboring fields, is becoming more

involved in instructions from the pharma sector.

Strengths: Pharma advertising litigation.

Recommended: Rainer Kaase.

Team: 3 partners, 2 associates.

Practice: Product launches and advertising, demarca-

tion issues concerning ▹food and cosmetics. Interface

to ▹patents, ▹trademarks and unfair competition.

Clients: • Ongoing advice to Astellas; • various pharmaceutical companies on pharma

advertising; • pharmaceutical company in a transaction and

concerning contracts.

Regulated IndustriesPharmaceuticals and Healthcare Analysis


Regulated IndustriesFood law

Food lawComment: The IP firm is active in the field not only with its core competence in ▹trademarks and unfair compe-

tition, but also in classic food law topics. It frequently advises a number of companies in both of these specialist

disciplines, while at the same time carefully intensifying its European contacts outside Germany. The firm is also

experienced in product design and health foods (▹healthcare).

Team: 3 equity partners, 3 associates.

Clients: • Soda manufacturer on applying EU food labeling regulation and with regard to product identification; • fruit juice manufacturer on food law as well as in regulatory offenses and criminal proceedings; • regular advice to Hachez/Feodora, recently on restructuring production processes; • regular advice to Columbus Drinks on labeling and health claims; • regular advice to Intersnack and Newlat; • marketing advice to foreign frozen food manufacturer.

Distribution and FranchisingDistribution


Distribution and FranchisingDistribution Analysis

DistributionComment: The Hamburg firm is known first and

foremost for the close interaction between the dis-

tribution lawyers and market-leading ▹trademarks

and unfair competition practice. Brand manufactu-

rers in particular seek out their advice, for instance

on direct distribution, licensing and commercial

agents law. The boom in e-commerce and the ques-

tions this entails regarding selective distribution

are also shifting antitrust advice more to the fore of

the practice. As the distribution and antitrust teams

are largely identical in terms of staff, the related

expertise is readily available from a single source

– both in terms of litigation in cartel cases against

authorities and in revising distribution structures

with an eye to compliance.

Strengths: Strong in ▹trademarks and unfair com-

petition.

Recommended: Dr. Matthias Wolter, Dr. Martin

Kefferpütz (“quick and competent”, “client orien-

ted”, competitor).

Team: 3 partners, 1 associate.

Practice: Structuring distribution systems and ad-

vising on distribution contracts, Internet distributi-

on and antitrust. Litigation within the IP, food and

pharma practices, esp. with regard to vio lations of

selective distribution agreements.

Clients: • Centro on catalog for cooperating with auto parts

dealers; • Jack Wolfskin on demarcation of markets in the EU;• spirits wholesaler on establishing distribution

structure; • pharma company concerning online distribution;• ongoing advice to Sky Deutschland, Wellensteyn

International.
