Judgement of LG Hamburg (Regional Court Hamburg) of 04/08/2009, file number: 312 O 365/09
Comparative advertising is a legitimate instrument to inform the consumers about the benefits of the advertised product. The reference to distinctive marks of a competitor, such a price comparison, is allowed provided that the stated facts are objectively traceable and the information is possible to verify.
Judgement of OLG Hamburg (Higher Regional Court Hamburg) of 23/04/2009, file number: 3 U 211/08
Comparative advertising between original preparations and generics may not take for granted that generics are a cheaper alternative if the range of application of both drugs is not identical. The same happens if they coincide in most of their substances and range of application. Medicaments advertising are defeated by strict conditions due to the health protection, they must be direct, clear and correct.
