唐纳德·特朗普入案照片的权利

By Maristella Collazo-Soto, Capital Member of Ferraiuoli LLC, Co-Chair of the IP Practice

几个月前,美国前总统唐纳德·特朗普因刑事指控在亚特兰大州被拍了入案照片。这张照片受到了媒体的广泛报道。在网上,人们可以找到使用该入案照片旨在营利的各种产品。这就有一个问题:他们是否有权使用特朗普的入案照片?

特朗普的入案照片是由他被捕的所在州政府拍摄的,因此除非州法律另有规定,该州可能拥有版权。如果该州政府拥有版权,理论上如果第三方将其用于商业目的,该州政府可以起诉侵害版权。

从法律角度来看,至关重要的是需要了解,几乎所有图像都与权利相关,该权利要求任何商业用途都需要许可。因此,始终建议在使用图像之前查证这些权利。

Ferraiuoli LLC

Ferraiuoli LLC (FLLC) was founded in 2003 by the late Blas Ferraiuoli-Martínez, Eugenio Torres-Oyola and María Marchand-Sánchez. This group was then joined in 2004 by Fernando J. Rovira-Rullán, thus forming the founding core of FLLC. FLLC has grown exponentially since its founding from a law firm with three attorneys and a support staff of three to its current size of 54 attorneys with a support staff of 38. Also, FLLC has grown from initially being known as an intellectual property and corporate law boutique law firm to a multiservice law firm that handles most matters relevant to a business while continuing to earn praise for its leading intellectual property and corporate practices.

FLLC has been ranked as a leading law firm in Puerto Rico by the professional publication Chambers Latin America in intellectual property, corporate, bankruptcy, labor & employment, real estate, and tax law. Moreover, 17 FLLC partners have been ranked as leaders in their field by the same publication. 4 FLLC partners are ranked as leaders in Intellectual Property, no other firm has more than 2. This recognition in such a short period of time is a tribute to FLLC’s business model.

FLLC prides itself in doing its work faster and more cost-efficiently yet with the same quality as that of its main competitors. The founding name partners are available at all times to attend to client matters. Their work ethic sets the tone for the rest of the firm. FLLC’s founders’ goal has been steady from the outset: become one of the premier multiservice law firms in Puerto Rico.
