Globe Law and Business recently published a new international advertising law text entitled: International Advertising Law. Given that I work a lot in the Canadian advertising and marketing law areas, as well as the relative dearth of advertising and marketing law texts generally (both in Canada and internationally), I thought this book was a welcome addition to the field. It includes, among other things, a survey of the advertising laws in leading jurisdictions including Australia, Canada, China, the United Kingdom and United States, among a number of other key and emerging jurisdictions.

Canada’s federal competition law regulator, the Competition Bureau (the “Bureau”), continues (at least as far as I can tell) to increase its “transparency” efforts posting more materials than perhaps was the case in the past. Earlier today, the Bureau announced two new publications – a Canadian competition law video (see: here) and its contribution to a new OECD Roundtable on competition and airlines (see: Competition Bureau Submission on OECD Roundtable on Airlines).

For the past little while I’ve been seeing more cases and articles related to advertising challenges based on misleading (or allegedly misleading) first impressions – that is competitor or consumer challenges based on what looks like the real deal, but may be a bit of image or headline claim sleight of hand.

Several days ago I posted the first of a series of short notes discussing some of the more interesting, frequent and important competition and advertising law questions I’ve received over the past few years (for the first post see: here).

I’ve been blogging on competition and advertising law topics for quite a few years now – about six or seven years or so by my count – and written on a great many topics over those years. I blog on competition and advertising law for several reasons, including because I continue to find competition law related topics very interesting and, as a citizen, I think it is important to help maintain and increase the awareness of competition law and policy topics in our economy.

Canada’s CRTC, one of three federal agencies responsible for administering and enforcing Canada’s new federal anti-spam legislation (“CASL”), has published new Information Sessions (video) on the upcoming CASL law that comes into force in Canada on July 1, 2014.

A new competition law blog caught my eye earlier today, entitled Cartel Capers (by Robert Connolly). Readers of my blog will know that in the competition/antitrust law area, I find cartels (i.e., price-fixing, bid-rigging, market division and other illegal agreements among competitors) particularly interesting. I also thought the “smoke filled” room image on this new blog was a particularly nice touch.
