| Summary |
"This book explores how the highly competitive, yet self-confident, world of business promotion and advertising has been shaken by 'ambush marketing'. Using examples from around the world, it surveys the different ambush marketing practices prevalent today. It shows the limitations of traditional legal measures such as actions for passing off, and infringement of trademarks and copyright in dealing with such activity." "The author offers insights into possible solutions to the problem and includes an extensive discussion on the significance of event-specific anti-ambush marketing legislation. Widening the scope of the discussion, he goes on to examine whether placing restrictions on ambush marketing would be valid in the context of competition law and whether any constitutional rights may end up being violated."--BOOK JACKET |
