About

从合规和规避风险的角度全面审视企业的广告战略

飞翰在广告法的各个方面都拥有广泛的经验。我们的核心业务之一是处理针对竞争对手的虚假广告纠纷。无论这些纠纷是提交给广告行业的自我监管机构、法院,还是通过与竞争对手的直接通信来解决,飞翰律师都知道如何帮助客户达成良好的结果。即使在任何竞争纠纷尚未出现之前,我们也会审查客户的广告是否符合联邦和州法律、法规以及行业准则。我们会找到具有创造性且可以承受的方法来降低风险,并随时向客户通报不断变化的监管形势。

飞翰的广告业务依托于飞翰深厚的科学素养。本所有近300名法律专业人士拥有不同科学学科的学位,其中超过65人拥有博士学位。我们了解产品测试,与权威测试实验室合作,以使用科学的精确性来支持我们的法律顾问。另一个与众不同之处在于,我们将广告业务与顶级、成熟的商标业务相结合。我们不会将广告和商标审查割裂开来,而是在审查广告文案时同时考虑权利主张的真实性和知识产权问题。这种整体方法使我们的客户能够获得更高效、更无缝的审查。

在美国国家广告部(NAD)和法院赢得诉讼

美国国家广告部(NAD)是高度专业化的争议解决场所,也是广告行业自我监管的机构。企业最好由具有丰富NAD经验的律师顾问来处理其相关事务并从容应对。飞翰正好拥有这样的律师,我们在该争议解决场所对广告进行质疑或辩护时,都取得了成功的结果。

 作为华盛顿特区2025年Benchmark Litigation争议解决 “推荐”事务所,飞翰因其在诉讼及其他争议解决方面的杰出能力而得到认可。无论目标是推翻竞争对手的市场活动,还是捍卫客户的广告,我们的书面和口头辩护,以及我们对商业业务的专注,都使我们能够赢得案件。我们在代理每一件NAD案件之初,都会衡量客户对“胜诉”的看法。从这一预期结果出发,我们精心设计信息传递,使NAD能够轻松理解并采纳我们的立场。

 飞翰在根据《兰纳姆法案》处理虚假广告索赔方面同样经验丰富--该联邦法律禁止虚假或误导性广告。飞翰处理过数十起涉及商标和虚假广告的《兰纳姆法案》案件,拥有多年的洞察力和经验。我们还处理涉及广告索赔的州和联邦消费者集体诉讼案件。

 确保您的广告宣传有据可依

即使在出现任何争议之前,我们也会对客户的广告宣传进行审查,以确保其符合联邦和各州的法律、法规以及自我监管指南。我们的审阅方法不仅仅停留于给出一个“可以”或“不可以”的答案;相反,我们会识别和量化风险,并提供降低风险的解决方案。我们在广告法方面的丰富经验使我们能够发现意想不到的问题。我们审查各种类型的广告,从单一宣传到比较宣传、健康宣传、定价宣传、环境宣传、“美国制造”宣传、技术产品性能宣传,以及涉及代言人、影响者、推荐人等的宣传。除了从表面上审查宣传外,飞翰还会深入审查任何特定宣传所依据的证据。作为一家拥有卓越技术敏锐度的公司,飞翰非常适合深入了解技术测试。

 促销、抽奖和竞赛的结构设计

飞翰就促销、抽奖和竞赛的法律要求为公司提供建议。我们制定符合地方、州和联邦法律的正式规则和促销细节,并确保符合社交媒体平台规则。我们还就如何遵守州注册和保证金要求为客户提供建议。我们审查印刷品、广播、电视、直邮和互联网广告,以确认可能需要披露的规则。我们经常与促销/抽奖/竞赛供应商合作,协助客户管理特定促销活动。

 解决您的宣传权问题

从审查传统广告、社交媒体和新闻稿,到起草相关协议和许可,到与专家合作对权利进行估值和商业化,再到在出现争议时进行诉讼和谈判解决,我们参与了宣传权问题的方方面面。当客户使用或希望使用社交媒体或媒体对名人和其他人公开使用其产品的报道时,我们也会参与其中。与审查广告的过程一样,我们将对客户的业务目标的理解和认识与降低风险的愿望结合起来。

 确保企业社交媒体表现合规

我们会考虑与社交媒体平台相关的广告和知识产权问题。我们熟悉当前流行平台的用户协议,并对新兴平台保持密切关注。我们非常熟悉病毒式营销,包括用户生成内容的使用和联邦贸易委员会 (FTC) 有关代言、赞助内容、使用有影响力的人和推荐人的指导原则;原生广告;以及国际奥林匹克委员会和其他体育管理机构颁布的有关使用运动员、场地“快闪”广告和未经授权的相关尝试的规则和法规。

 审核企业产品标签

我们审查产品标签,以确认是否符合地方、州和联邦法规。除了与知识产权相关的问题(例如,产品标签或包装是否可能侵犯第三方版权、商标或设计专利权)外,我们还就产品标签引起的任何权利要求证明问题提供建议。飞翰精通美国联邦贸易委员会根据《马格努森-莫斯保修法》(Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act)和 2015 年《电子保修法》(E-Warranty Act of 2015)的相关修订案提出的保修要求。我们协助客户调整其保修计划、信息披露和流程,以符合这些要求以及与这些法规相关的任何监管或消费者诉讼。

Medmix Switzerland AG v. Kettenbach GmbH and Co. KG et al.
Represented defendants Kettenbach GmbH and Co. KG, Kettenbach LP and Xinial Systems GmbH and Co. KG in a case brought against the Defendants’ dental products for patent and trademark infringement, as well as false advertising, in the United States. After Defendants obtained a final written decision from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) finding all asserted patent claims in the case to be unpatentable, the parties settled.

Marilyn D. Mintz v. Subaru of America, Inc.

At the lower court, Finnegan prevailed on a Rule 12(b)(6) motion for client Subaru of America. In that suit, the plaintiff asserted trademark and copyright infringement, trademark dilution, and false advertising against Subaru’s annual “Share the Love” holiday-season campaign, which donates money from car purchases to various buyer-designated national and local charities. Subaru’s campaign uses a particular logo comprised of a heart on a hand, and various other “love”-themed designs.

The plaintiff sought enhanced damages, punitive damages over $20 million, and attorneys’ fees. Subaru’s motion to dismiss was based largely on the facial dissimilarities between the parties’ respective designs, which the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California granted on all counts asserted in the complaint, without leave to further amend.

The plaintiff appealed to the Ninth Circuit, which affirmed the lower court’s decision after finding that the plaintiff did not plausibly allege any claim. The appeals court later denied plaintiff’s petition for rehearing. Consistent with the lower court’s opinion, the Ninth Circuit ruled that the marks at issue were so facially dissimilar that they could not plausibly create a likelihood of confusion, and affirmed the dismissal of the trademark dilution, copyright infringement, and false advertising claims for the same reasons, resulting in a complete win for Subaru.
