What we litigate.

Preliminary injunctions

Rapid protection when damage is imminent — whether trademark infringement, unfair advertising or copyright infringement. From the motion for a preliminary injunction to court enforcement.

Unfair-competition & trademark proceedings

Proceedings under the Austrian UWG and Trademark Act — injunctive relief, removal, damages, judgment publication. Main proceedings at the Vienna Commercial Court, appeals at the OLG and final clarification before the Austrian Supreme Court.

Copyright actions

Actions for infringement of your copyright exploitation rights and/or your moral rights as an author — injunctions, removal and damages. We support claimants and defendants alike, with precise evidence handling.

General civil proceedings

Contract disputes, damages, property and debt claims — for businesses and private individuals before courts throughout Austria.
