Event Synopsis:

Comparative advertising has become a valuable and effective tool in targeting the growing number of cost-sensitive consumers through advertisements that contrast products’ prices and qualities to alternative brands. A comparative advertisement specifically mentions a competitor by name for the purpose of comparing the advertiser’s product or service with a product or service of the competitor. The comparison can be done directly or indirectly. When comparisons are clearly identified, truthful, and non-deceptive, comparative advertising can be a powerful advertising tool. This advertising method is not without its pitfalls. A competitor’s false and deceptive campaigns have the potential to bring serious damages to your products and marketing efforts. Online providers have attempted to resolve comparative advertising issues by offering dispute resolution options via their websites. Brand owners also have the option of pursuing claims with the Federal Trade Commission and the National Advertising Division of the Council of Better Business Bureaus. Another option is pursue false advertising claims under the Lanham Act. However, there are certain factors to consider in pursuing and winning such cases so as not to impact the business and its bottom line. In this two-hour live webcast, speakers will cite and examine cases, provide valuable insights on regulatory updates and will offer tools and best practices to win false advertising claims.
