Abstract

After tracing the evolution of the right of publicity, this Recent Development focuses on these recent decisions confronting the issue of descendibility. This Recent Development then concludes that the right of publicity should be inheritable for a designated period of time and that inheritability should not depend upon previous exploitation of the right.
