Rule 120-2-12-.15 - Identity of Insurer

1. The name of the actual insurer advertised shall be properly identified and prominently, clearly and conspicuously displayed in all of its advertisements. An advertisement shall not refer to the parent company of the insurer without clearly disclosing that it is a separate legal entity and not responsible for the insurer's financial condition or contractual obligations.

2. An advertisement shall not include a trade name, an insurance group designation, or the name of any division, affiliate or subsidiary of the insurer, or any service mark, trade mark, slogan, symbol, or other device which has the capacity or tendency to deceive an individual as to the true identity of the insurer or the policy being advertised.

3. No advertisement shall use any combination of words, symbols, or physical materials which by their content, phraseology, shape, color, or other characteristics are so similar to combination of words, symbols, or physical materials used by agencies of the Federal Government, or of this State, or otherwise appear to be of such a nature that it tends to confuse or mislead prospective insureds into believing that the solicitation is in some manner connected with an agency of the municipal, State or Federal Government.
