Der Verbraucherschadensersatz im UWG

'Consumer Damage in the Unfair Competition Act. Requirements and Consequences': This paper examines the prerequisites for individual consumers' claims for damages, which have existed since May 28, 2022, under Section 9 (2) Sentence 1 of the Unfair Competition Act (UWG), as well as the legal consequences that may arise if these prerequisites are met. It also examines whether the introduction of this section has improved consumer protection within and outside the existing protection system.
