Welcome to RightOfPublicity.com
The Right of Publicity is a state-based right which continues to evolve through case law and legislation. The Right of Publicity consistently demonstrates the critical role it fulfills, providing recourse for infringement and structure for licensing of living and deceased personalities, estate tax, and infringement valuations, as well as a blueprint for emerging technology concerning AI, NFTs, deep fakes, and NIL. Even though recognition varies from state to state, the Right of Publicity is not indecipherable. Though often misunderstood or misrepresented, one can discern consistency and policy underpinnings in the Right of Publicity. Similarly, with a qualified valuation expert witness, the Right of Publicity can be valued accurately.
RightOfPublicity.com provides news, Right of Publicity statutes, landmark cases, and other information, often with the perspective of someone who has represented notable rights owners for decades and has served as an expert witness in significant Right of Publicity disputes and valuations. The author teaches this subject matter, lectures and publishes with regularity, and has participated in legislative activity throughout the United States.
