Marknadsundersökningar används som bevismedel, både i marknadsrättsliga och i varumärkesrättsliga tvister. I denna uppsats behandlas marknadsundersökningar inom marknadsföringsrätten i mål som rör vilseledande efterbildningar enligt 14 § MFL.

För att balansera avsaknaden av personligt betalningsansvar innehåller ABL, vid sidan av den lagstadgade revisionen, ett antal specialbestämmelser som föreskriver att vissa åtgärder skall granskas av en kvalificerad revisor. I samband med denna granskning skall revisorn upprätta säOne of the most characteristic features of a limited liability company (Sw: aktiebolag) is that shareholders are not personally liable for the company’s obligations.

Den konventionella varumärkesforskningen ger en alltför förenklad syn av konsumentens betydelse för ett varumärke. Uppsatsen förespråkar en sociokulturell aspekt där fokus ligger på hur konsumenten skapar mening på en makro-, mikro- och individnivå. Det är konsumenten, inte marknadsföraren, som skapar identitetsvärde och det är människor i konsumentens omgivning som påverkar kundens uppfattningar The conventional brand research provides an overly simplistic view of the consumer's significance to the brand. The paper advocates a socio-cultural aspect where the focus is on how the consumers create meaning on a macro, micro and individual level. It is the consumer and not the marketer, which will create identity; there are people in the consumer’s environment that affect their perceptions
