Executive Summary
CTFA supports FDA's technical amendment to OTC labeling rule, which loosens trade dress guidelines and allows use of dark-on-light and light-on-dark type. "The amended version of the final rule provides appropriate recognition of the value of trade dress" for manufacturers and consumers, the trade group says in March 17 comments. In previous verbal and written arguments, CTFA maintained that as originally drafted, the reg would restrict product distinctiveness. FDA granted the amendment in January (1"The Rose Sheet" Jan. 10, p. 9)
