Claim vs Anspruch

claim / demand

'der Anspruch' and 'der Claim' can both mean a demand or a right to something. 'Anspruch' is the normal German word and fits legal, moral, and everyday situations. 'Claim' is used less often in this sense and often sounds legal, business-related, or like an Anglicism. In addition, 'Claim' has another important meaning in marketing: a short advertising slogan for a brand. This can easily lead to confusion. If you want to speak safely and generally about a right or a demand, 'Anspruch' is usually more natural.
