| When advertisers seek to promote their product at the expense of another in terms of quality, performance, sales, price or other attributes, they face not only a public cautious of their claims, but also a broad spectrum of legal rules. These include trade-mark law and competition law statutes, common law torts and self-regulatory mechanisms. This thesis illustrates the variety of legislation and jurisdiction surrounding comparative advertising in both Canada and the European Union, and, within the latter, Germany and the United Kingdom. |
