Navigating Intellectual Property Rights for Celebrities

Celebrity endorsements and testimonials are a powerful way to add luster, glitter and visibility to your brands. But the use of celebrities (both alive and dead!) in commercial advertising and promotion is regulated by a complex and evolving set of laws. Mark Roesler, chairman and CEO of CMG Worldwide, a leading international agency representing celebrities, discusses the complexities of clearing use of celebrities for advertisements and other commercial purposes. You won’t want to miss this exciting start to the 127th Annual Meeting, which promises to be as entertaining as it is educational. Bio
