The New York State Court of Appeals Appeals for Tattoo Removal

A lawsuit created a precedent that people may not have the rights to depict the tattoos on their body. The New York state High Court has ruled in the case. The decision will change the way tattoos are depicted in the media and may even affect the way people view the tattoos more widely.

This decision by the New York State Court of Appeals is a landmark in the field. Now people with tattoos will have to have a license to get and pose for photos with their body art.

“The court is satisfied from the documents in this case that the work at issue is of a piece or art work rather than a photo. It is therefore beyond the scope of their copyright or trademark rights to determine the nature of the defendant’s work. Consequently, the only issue is whether the defendants’ photograph is a copyright or a trademark work (within the meaning of the Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. §§ 101, et. seq., the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1114, and the New York State law regarding unregistered and unregistered trade-marks), and whether the plaintiffs have standing to sue for such infringement.”
