LeBron James’ Tattoo Drama: Who Owns the Copyright?
In this segment of “IP in the News,” we dive into the fascinating legal battle over LeBron James’ tattoo and its appearance in a popular video game. When tattoo artist Jimmy Hayden’s creation was digitally replicated on LeBron’s in-game likeness, a dispute erupted over copyright and ownership. Join us as we explore the court’s decision, the implications for artists and celebrities, and the broader impact of intellectual property rights in the age of digital media. We discuss the complexities of who truly owns a work of art once it’s inked onto a superstar.
