The MARQUES Unfair Competition Team has added information on Germany and Italy to its chart on self-regulatory organizations (SROs) for advertising and unfair competition matters.

The updated chart can be downloaded from the Team’s page on the MARQUES website (MARQUES log-in required).

The new information has been provided by Team members Carmen Castellano, Castellano IP - Studio Legale Avv. Castellano, Italy and Rani Mallick, Lubberger Lehment, Germany. The project is led by Team member Philippe Probst, Fuhrer Marbach & Partners, Switzerland.

The table already includes contributions from Finland, Switzerland, Turkey and the United States. It provides information for each jurisdiction on: the existence and identity of SROs; matters handled; rules, eligible parties and fees; procedure; penalties and enforceability.

Further countries will be added in due course.
