The chart on self-regulatory organisations (SROs) has been updated with new sections on Greece and Poland.

The chart is compiled by the MARQUES Unfair Competition Team and can be downloaded on the Team’s page on the MARQUES website (MARQUES log-in required).

It now covers 14 countries.

Pawel Wac, head of the trade mark team at Polservice, has compiled the report on Poland.

Stefanos Tsimikalis, a Partner of Tsimikalis Kalonarou Law Firm, contributed the report on Greece.

The purpose of the chart is to provide corporate lawyers and attorneys with a practical, user-friendly overview of SROs for advertising and unfair competition matters.

With growing digitalisation and globalisation of advertising and other business activities, it is increasingly important for businesses to familiarise themselves with self-regulation of advertising and other matters.

The chart covers advertising and unfair competition matters, but not consumer protection matters or industry-specific organisations.

The five questions for each jurisdiction encompass: existence and identity of self-regulatory organisations; matters handled; rules, eligible parties and fees; procedure; and penalties and enforceability.

If you have any questions, please contact Alexandra Di Maggio, Rani Mallick, Felipe Dannemann Lundgren or another member of the Unfair Competition Team.
