OLG Hamburg: less means less not more rare

Advertising statements and the UWG are often not really close friends and the jurisprudence to misleading representation or statements is extremely extensive.

The Higher Regional Court of Hamburg has now considered the advertising statement “Less ingesis” of a drug to be misleading if the manufacturer makes it clear by means of an asterisk notice that this means that he only has to use the drug once a day.

Rarely in such cases does one read court that they speak of a “three lie” of the advertiser. In any case, the board was of the opinion.
