Description

When your name becomes your brand, you need to consider trademarks, reputation, goodwill and potential restraints and restrictions on use if you sell your business. This can have an emotional effect if you have to sell the rights in your name as part of your business. Increasingly with artists diversifying their names are becoming valuable brands and they are building product lines in fashion, cosmetics etc, what considerations should there be and we could also discuss image and likeness rights.
