Topics to be covered include: whether a right of publicity has been effectively assigned; how statute of limitation concerns can impact right of publicity litigation; which states or countrys right of publicity law applies; the interplay of publicity rights with federal Lanham Act claims individuals may pursue over unauthorized uses of their personas; and whether a defendant has raised a viable “transformative use argument that will defeat an unauthorized use claim.
