Competitive Edge – The Podcast Episode 8: Badmouthing your competitors – Denigration as a stand-alone abuse of dominance

Welcome to episode 8 of Competitive Edge - The Podcast, in which our Copenhagen-based competition lawyers Frederik Haugsted, Alexander Brøchner and Nanna Sofie Krabbe take a deep dive into the subject of denigration / disparagement (dissemination of negative information to customers about their competitors’ products) as an abuse of dominance.

In this episode we explore this topic thoroughly and in simple terms, and go into:

• What conduct constitutes denigration

• The Commission’s recent focus on this topic

• National case law

• Which sectors this is of particular importance for

In Competitive Edge – The Podcast we dissect topical competition law issues to help you understand how they may affect your business.
