Course Contents

Marketing Law regulates companies’ behaviour on the market. Marketing law embraces general rules concerning establishment of companies, marketing and competition, as well as consumer protection and concerns both private law and public law. Other areas of interest are contract law, tort law and intellectual property law (such as branding and trade marks).

Two major areas form the core of marketing law: marketing practices law and competition law. Marketing law, competition law and consumer protection are areas of high priorities for the EU and has been held as a vital part of the European Union's integration efforts.
