If you’re in the public eye, your image can have a major commercial value. Our personality and image rights lawyers help individuals and brands commercialise, protect and enforce these rights.
What Are Image Rights?
“Image” or personality rights refer to a range of rights that you have over your own public persona. These rights obviously include your image, but can also extend to your name, personality, catchphrase or other things that are well-known as being part of you.
Your image as a well-known person can be valuable commercially. It’s crucial that your rights in this area are protected from misuse, and that you’re able to get the most out of them if you choose to.
What Image Rights Services Do We Offer?
There are three main areas where our lawyers can help:
- Registering trade marks – although image rights themselves can’t be registered, certain elements of your image may be able to be trade-marked (such as your name, or signature for instance)
- Commercialising your image – we help brands and individuals with a range of commercial agreements, including sponsorships, product endorsements and advertising
- Infringements and disputes – we can help if your image has been used without your permission, or in a way you didn’t agree to.
