Tobacco Company vs. Australian Government on Brand

2011/08/02

Tobacco giant Philip Morris has threatened to sue the Australian government over its plan to ban logos and branding on tobacco packaging. The company said it had sent a legal notice to the Australian government setting a mandatory three-month period to negotiate on the issue. It warned that if no agreement was reached in that time, it would seek financial compensation.
