Course Description
For decades, the names, likenesses, images and voices of celebrities have been used for marketing purposes. Publicity rights protect celebrities by providing the right to control the commercial use of one’s identity. Here, explore publicity rights and review various applicable cases from the inception of the doctrine.

She will address the only Supreme Court case to address the issue, Zacchini v. Scripps-Howard Broadcasting Co., as well as newer cases from around the nation. She also addresses the differences between the laws in New York versus California and contractual protection for publicity rights, including endorsement contracts, product placement, and licensing.

Goldsmith, a Partner at Tarter Krinsky & Drogin LLP, provides practical legal advice and connections to grow clients’ businesses with an emphasis on intellectual property. She will advise you whether your trademark is available in the US and globally, if patents should be a part of your strategy, and if your design team’s new product shares too many features of the competition’s copyrighted bestseller. She will design contracts that make sense. If a dispute is on the horizon, she will be by your side until a fair resolution is reached.
Ms. Goldsmith protects the global interests of national and international clients in a variety of industries, including pet products, fashion, financial services, marketing automation, publishing, medical devices, and consumer and designer goods.

very interesting topic!
I really like this presenter and her materials. She is very knowledgeable.
A solid primer on the subject.
interesting topic and knowledgeable presenters.
Excellent; raised a lot of issues for further research covering a broad area. That was my interest, to know what to consider and give guidance as to where to start and what to look for. Additionally, not a lot of self-promotion as with some others that contain 5 to 10 minutes of self-promotion--who wants to pay for that?
Good coverage of an interesting topic without being overly technical.
Very informative.
Excellent presentation and content
good course.
