4. Title of law or regulation
Fair Trading Act 1986
5. Nature of notification
Main dedicated intellectual property law or regulation (Main laws and regulations must be notified in a WTO language (English, French or Spanish). Where an authentic national text of a law or regulation is not available in a WTO language, the authentic text of that law or regulation in a national language shall be notified, in addition to the translation into a WTO language.)
Other law or regulation (Other laws and regulations can be notified in a Member's national language)
6. Brief description
The Fair Trading Act prohibits certain conduct in trade, provides for the disclosure of consumer information relating to the supply of goods and services and promotes product safety in New Zealand. Part I of the Act deals with misleading and deceptive conduct, false representations and unfair practices.
7. Date of entry into force
Date of entry into force (DD/MM/YYYY)
Please provide explanation if necessary
8. Other date
Adoption, or
Enactment, or
Publication, or
Issuance by legislature or executive
None
DD/MM/YYYY
9. Other information (if applicable)
New Zealand's 1994 legislation went beyond the requirements of the TRIPS Agreement in two areas: - Copyright - The Copyright Act 1994 encompasses more than the changes required for NewZealand to meet its obligations under the TRIPS Agreement. The new Act reforms much of the New Zealand law to enable copyright to keep pace with technological changes and ensures compliance with the 1971 Revision of the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works; - Geographical Indications - The Act establishes a regime for protecting New Zealand and international geographical indications from misleading or deceptive use. The Act goes considerably beyond obligations arising under the TRIPS Agreement.
