International Advertising Law Portal |

How does each country police
their advertising? Which administrative body must you answer to if anyone
has a complaint against your advertising? Can you advertise to children?
Have you ever wondered how strict trademark offices of a particular country
are when it comes to the prohibition of the registration of immoral or
scandalous marks?
Over the last year, the Brands & Marketing Team has been gathering
general information on the rules and regulations on advertising vices,
advertising to children and immoral or scandalous marks in certain
jurisdictions. Thanks to generous contributions of time and expertise by a
number of colleagues, relevant information from almost 40 countries has been
gathered. The Team has edited and streamlined this information and posted it
on their Team page on the
MARQUES
website in a way which they hope is easily accessible and useful to members.
The Portal is now live so we may officially introduce to you our
International Advertising Law Portal! Please stop by and take a look at
[http://www.marques.org/Elink?ID=0030].
We thank all of you who contributed to this project (all names are listed in
the Portal's introduction and at the top of each report). Information for
additional countries continues to be added so if you do not see your
contribution yet, you will shortly. If a
MARQUES
member from a country not currently listed would like to contribute or if
existing contributors would like to update their entries, please contact
Cara Boyle at
cboyle@frosszelnick.com and
Kathryn Szymczyk at
kszymczyk@blgcanada.com, the Principal Editors for the Portal. We want
to make this a useful resource and would very much appreciate your input. Of
course, all contributors will be listed as the source of information for
their jurisdiction. |
