Clarifications from Public Prosecution regarding Commercial Data :
Commercial data are the details to be placed on goods and products, directly or indirectly, to identify them or their qualities. Earlier, the Public Prosecution had said that commercial data are the details to be placed on goods and products.
- The commercial data law clarifies the number of goods, their quantity, size, agent, weight, price, production and expiration dates, as well as the company or nation in which the product was manufactured and the elements of its composition.
The term also refers to the capability of holding a license or other property rights, as well as privileges or awards for commercial or industrial activity, as well as the name or for which certain goods are known or are usually performed.
As per the commercial data law, the commercial statement is required to be written in Arabic at least and to be true in all respects, whether it is addressing, covers, invoices, letter papers, advertising means, or any other means used in displaying goods to the public.
When the amount, size, measure, energy, weight, source, or components of the products are among the factors that can be used to estimate their value, a decision from the Minister of Commerce may prohibit the import, sale, or offering for sale of these products unless they feature one or more of the statements obtained from this data.
It shall be specified in a decision by the Minister of Commerce how the data shall be placed on the products and how to replace them if this is not possible.
- The Board of Grievances may order the confiscation of the seized items, the sale of what can be sold thereof, the deduction of its value from any compensation and fines ordered, or the destruction of the remainder of the seized items. Moreover, the Court may also order that the decision issued for conviction, confiscation or destruction be published in one of the daily newspapers issued in the convict's residence area at his expense.
