This document discusses comparative advertising and product disparagement under Indian law. It begins by defining these concepts and outlining relevant acts like the MRTP Act 1969. Case studies from India and other countries like the US and Germany are presented. The key findings are that comparative advertising is allowed under constitutional rights to free speech if it is truthful, but disparaging a competitor's product is prohibited. Indian law and judicial precedents make it clear that competitors can be referenced when comparing products, but not in a way that damages their reputation or trademark. Overall the position in India is similar to other countries that allow comparative advertising.
