However, this is known to the target audience, which is why there is no labeling obligation. Accordingly, the Munich Regional Court dismissed the VSW&#8217;s claim.  <\/p>\n<p>The press release states:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;<em>The court ruled that the defendant&#8217;s posts were not disguised advertising. It is true that the defendant acted commercially because it promoted the linked companies and its own company through the posts. However, in the opinion of the court, the defendant&#8217;s Instagram account made this clear to the relevant public.&#8221;  <\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The Munich Regional Court emphasized that a case-by-case decision must always be made on the question of whether a post is recognizably advertising (= no labeling obligation) or not (= then subject to labeling). The press release states:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;<em>The chamber emphasized that the recognizability of commercial activity must be examined in each individual case and that the decision should therefore not be generalized with regard to other bloggers or influencers. The decisive factors in this specific case included the number of followers of the defendant and the fact that it was a public, verified profile with a blue tick.&#8221; <\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2><strong>Classification in the context of previous rulings on influencer advertising<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The ruling of the Munich Regional Court continues the approving line of the Berlin Court of Appeal (ruling of 9.1.2019, Ref. <a href=\"https:\/\/dejure.org\/dienste\/vernetzung\/rechtsprechung?Text=5%20U%2083\/18\" title=\"5 U 83\/18 (2 zugeordnete Entscheidungen)\">5 U 83\/18<\/a>). Contrary to the lower court, the Berlin Court of Appeal also ruled that in the Vreni Frost case, posts showing items of clothing, shoes and accessories etc. do not generally have to be labeled as advertising. The KG Berlin had stated:  <\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>&#8220;It can be assumed that websites such as the account operated by the defendant under &#8220;&#8230;&#8221; are visited because users are also interested in the clothes, shoes and accessories selected and combined by the blogger. The interest of the visitors is not limited to viewing pictures. Naturally, they are at least also interested in copying selections and combinations or finding inspiration for their own outfits.    <strong>The information about the brand under which the presented products are offered and where they can be purchased answers an existing need for information.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The defendant&#8217;s explanation that she tags the depicted items of clothing, shoes and accessories in order to anticipate inquiries from visitors to her Instagram page therefore appears plausible. The defendant has also submitted examples of such requests (see Annex AG 21 to the defendant&#8217;s statement of May 23, 2018). <\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>In this respect, nothing else applies than for fashion magazines, which contain corresponding information on manufacturers and sources of supply for the same reason<\/em><\/strong><em> (&#8230;).&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>It should be noted that the Munich Regional Court continues the contradictory case law of German courts. It is becoming increasingly unclear whether and, if so, why or in which cases posts by influencers who present or mention products in their posts constitute advertising. The Munich Regional Court has added another aspect to the confusion by assuming advertising, but denying a labeling obligation if the presentation or the author of the post already makes the advertising character clear.  <\/p>\n<h2><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>It is to be hoped that the BGH will take up all the aspects assessed by the courts of lower instances in its ruling, which is expected soon, and provide full clarity.<\/p>\n<h2>Do you have any questions?<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the case of Kathy Hummels, the Munich Regional Court (judgment of 29.4.2019, Ref. 4 HK O 14312\/18)) considers unpaid posts with product mentions to be obviously advertising and therefore not subject to labeling.
