Advertising & Commercial Speech
Advertising and other
forms of commercial speech create a thicket of legal issues.
We have litigated a dispute against the Los Angeles RTD concerning the regulation of advertising on city buses. In another matter, we successfully defended a radio broadcast monitoring company against a libel and trade libel suit brought by its competitor over a series of comparative advertisements. We are currently representing an outdoor advertising company challenging unconstitutional sign ordinances in Northern California.
We also know how fair use in copyright cases and publicity/misappropriation claims impact the ability to advertise.
