Advertising has been a common means to convey the product strengths by advertisers. However, due to the constraints of media availability in time and space, partial disclosure of product information has been taken as common practice. Yet, if a consumer were not provided with sufficient information so that he or she is biased into making alternative purchase decision, the advertisement involved would then be subjected to ethical and legal challenges. The Fair Trade Act in Taiwan insofar does not delineate the wrong doings of partial disclosure ads. Therefore, the goal of this paper is to lay out the principle that may serve as guidelines when applying advertising regulations to partial disclosure ads. The author begins by collecting and analyzing cases of said type in Taiwan, followed by an examination into advertising regulations of other advanced countries and then proposes some principle guidelines for future considerations.
