Advertiser ought to have freedom for generic comparison with products: HC

An advertiser needs to have the freedom to make advertisements containing generic comparison with other related products to highlight its own product and mere allusions are not sufficient to make out a case of disparagement, the Delhi High Court has said. The court made the observation on a lawsuit by Zydus Wellness Products against Dabur India over commercials for 'Dabur Glucoplus-C Orange' as it refused to pass an interim order to restrain alleged unfair competition and disparagement in relation to the plaintiff's 'Glucon-D Tangy Orange'. The plaintiff alleged disparagement of its product, which was stated to be a market leader in orange glucose powder drinks, on the ground that commercials gave the impression that all the orange glucose powder drinks are entirely inefficacious in providing energy and only the defendant's product is capable of doing that.

Spain starts new code for manufacturers to avoid sexism in ads for toys

Spain said Wednesday it's enacting a new ethics code to discourage toy manufacturers from using sexist stereotypes such as dolls for girls and action figures for boys in advertisements as the Christmas season kicks off. A government statement said the new self-regulatory code urges companies to run adverts that engender an image of pluralism and equality, free from stereotypes. The characterisation of girls with sexual connotations will be prohibited and the exclusive association of toys with roles such as caring, domestic work or beauty with them (girls), and action, physical activity or technology with boys will be avoided, the statement said. The idea is that companies will no longer use colours such as blue or pink to indicate products intended for boys or girls, the government said. The code follows an agreement between the Consumer Affairs Ministry, toy manufacturers and publicity companies in April. The code, which updates another from 2005, goes into effect Thursday. It's
