Are there any rules regarding product name and logo use in advertising?

Yes, there are rules in Kansas regarding product name and logo use in advertising. According to Kansas Statutes Annotated (K.S.A. 50-101 et seq.), any advertising that uses the name, logo, or trademark of a product or service must be done in a way that is not misleading. This means that businesses must use accurate descriptions of their products or services, and also use proper language to describe their products or services. Additionally, businesses cannot use a name, logo, or trademark of a product or service to promote a different product or service. Businesses marketing products or services in Kansas must also follow certain guidelines regarding advertising depending on the type of product or service that they are marketing. For example, any advertising of alcoholic beverages must contain a health warning approved by the State of Kansas, and any advertising of pharmaceuticals must be accompanied with a written notice of potential side effects. Finally, businesses seeking to use a competitor’s name, logo, or trademark in their advertising must also follow certain regulations. Kansas law requires that businesses in advertising must not use a competitor’s name, logo, or trademark in a way that implies that they are endorsed or sponsored by the competitor. Also, the advertising must not contain false or misleading statements or claim that the competitor’s product or service is inferior to the one being advertised.
