Who's Making the Big Money: A Discussion on the Licensing
of Athlete Publicity Rights
The names, likenesses and images of professional and amateur athletes are everywhere: on apparel and accessories, in video games, on beverage containers, in fantasy sports leagues and in commercials. Join us and learn everything you've always wanted to know about who controls, and who benefits from, this lucrative licensing business:
- Who controls the publicity rights of professional athletes when it comes to licensing for a league or a non-league product?
- Do professional athletes have any choice when their image is licensed for commercial use?
- Who controls professional and amateur athlete publicity rights, and receives the revenue when licensing for fantasy sports leagues?
- Can the names, likenesses and images of college athletes be used without payment, and what benefits do the colleges receive?
- How could the outcome of pending litigation affect the world of amateur athlete publicity rights?
