Hi Mary,
I wasn't specifically referring to the imminent ILCA conference but to an
ongoing marketing relationship. My understanding (and I'm sure Liz will
correct me if I am wrong) is that whilst Lansinoh is wholly owned by Pigeon,
a company that breaches the Code, it is a separate company. It is on this
basis that ILCA determined that they could assist Lansinoh in marketing
their products because Lansinoh was not breaching the Code. Similarly, it is
my understanding that whilst Ameda is wholly owned by Evenflo (a company
which has stated its intention to breach the Code) it does not market
products under the scope of the Code in ways that breach the Code. So on the
surface it seems that with ILCA's current policies that Ameda will continue
to be able to use ILCA events and publications to market its products
regardless of anything that Evenflo does in the future. No wonder the execs
at Evenflo decided that they could have their cake and eat it too...

I would imagine this is complicated by the fact that this news just became
public and the conference is next week.  While there is a contract that
probably states something about adhering to the Code, I also imagine that
some might protest if they were now un-invited.

and that MS is in nothing remotely related to contract law, lol
