Image Rights
We act for sports bodies, sporting goods manufacturers, media companies and other businesses engaged in the protection and exploitation of image rights. Our considerable experience of acting on defamation and privacy cases for media companies, combined with our broad knowledge of trade mark, passing off and other intellectual property law issues means we have a complete understanding of all legal aspects relating to image rights which, in themselves, are not a recognised legal right in the UK.
Because we unite our all libel, advertising, IP litigation and IP commercial licensing expertise within one team, our clients benefit from dealing with one set of lawyers who can handle negotiations, drafting and any disputes relating to image rights and celebrity endorsements.
We also provide clearance advice for the legal use of third party's images, whether in advertising, promotions or within a product itself.
