Counsel for a large consumer packaged goods manufacturer, retained Cornerstone Research and two marketing professors in a false advertising matter involving dairy products. The plaintiff filed a motion for a preliminary injunction to block another manufacturer’s advertising that compared their two competing products.
The court granted our client’s motion for a preliminary injunction.
In support of the motion, Professor Dominique Hanssens of the University of California, Los Angeles, prepared a declaration that documented the advertising’s potentially large negative impact. Professor Ronald Wilcox of the University of Virginia conducted two consumer surveys demonstrating that the advertising created the perception that the plaintiff’s product was unsafe, and had a negative impact on consumer purchase intent.
The court granted our client’s motion for a preliminary injunction.
