- The right of publicity was essentially an outgrowth of the right of privacy in the United States, and is still often referred to as a "subset" of privacy rights. Generally, the right of publicity is the right of individuals, particularly celebrities, to control how others use their names, images and voice. In some jurisdictions, it only applies to commercial advertising. In others, it is broader, and applies to any commercial exploitation. By the broadest definition, the right of publicity is the right of every individual to control any commercial use of his or her name, image, likeness, or some other identifying aspect of identity, limited (under U.S. law) by the First Amendment. The right of publicity can be referred to as "publicity rights" or even "personality rights." The term "right of publicity" was coined by Judge Jerome Frank in the Haelan Labs., Inc. v. Topps Chewing Gum, Inc. The Second Circuit concluded a right of publicity was necessary because: The extent of recognition of this right in the United States is largely driven by statute or case law. Because the right of publicity is governed by state law (as opposed to federal law), the degree of recognition of the right varies significantly from one state to another. To date, twenty-eight states have recognized the right, either in their case law, by statute or both.
