Event Synopsis:
Advertising plays a crucial role in securing businesses a competitive edge especially in today's market. With the huge amount of money needed in advertising and in putting products both in print and in electronic formats, advertisers aim to get the highest possible return of investment. The facts about a product are often emphasized and even twisted according to the advertiser's needs and objectives. However, when this business judgment perils the reasonable standards of advertising, the courts may have to decide if advertisers have exaggerated the facts of their products and have caused misleading impressions to the buyers. When an implied false claim is alleged, expert testimonies and surveys determine consumers' perception of the advertisement. Generally, survey evidence plays an important evidentiary role to support a claim of false or misleading advertisement and unfair competition. Still, while it can be found effective in court, survey evidence is always being challenged.
In this two-hour LIVE Webcast, a panel of key thought leaders and practitioners assembled by The Knowledge Group will identify the recent trends involving the use of survey evidence in advertising cases. Speakers will also provide tips in designing survey methodology and the best practices in preparing, conducting, and presenting survey evidence in false advertising cases.
