How to React Correctly to Warnings under Competition Law?
Competition law provides for very strict legal consequences in the event of legal violations. Warnings for alleged violations of competition law should therefore be taken extremely seriously. The only correct reaction to a warning under competition law is therefore the immediate involvement of a specialized lawyer.
This also applies if the actual violation of competition is beyond doubt. Competitors often try to exploit the situation by demanding far-reaching concessions (sometimes well hidden in the legal text) from the infringer.

The two most important rules for the correct reaction to unfair competitors are:
- Do not tolerate for too long. Violations of competition law are subject to a short statute of limitations. Those who do not act quickly lose their claims.
- No self-experiments. Competition law is very complex. Anyone who makes mistakes due to a lack of knowledge of all the details can easily lose valuable claims.
