Publicity Rights & Rights to the image of a person Publicity Rights is the US term and the rights to the image of a person (or image rights) is the term used in Canada, the UK, and other English-speaking countries. If your target audience is US, I would use Publicity Rights. If it's other, I think the other term works better.

On conducting further research, I prefer "image rights" instead of "rights to the image of a person" which is the more appropriate term use in IP law.

Peer comment(s):
agree rkillings : OK in this context. Familiarly, "model rights", secured by a "model release".

Yes, that works also in more specific cases, eg, photograph. In this case "droit à l'image..." is the general term encompassing all physical aspects of a person, not only the photo image, but mannerisms, etc associated with that individual.

publicity rights

This is a common way of referring to them in IP law.

French explanation of Fr law

Chacun a droit au respect de sa vie privée (art. 9 du Code Civil). Le droit à l’image, en tant qu’attribut de la personnalité, fait partie de la vie privée. Toute atteinte au droit à l’image constitue de ce fait une violation de la vie privée.
Le Droit à l’image des personnes est un droit absolu :

CA. Paris, 1re ch., 23 mai 95 (D.96, som.com 75, obs. Hassler) :
Toute personne a sur son image et sur l’utilisation qui en est faite, un droit exclusif qui lui permet de s’opposer à sa reproduction sans son autorisation expresse et spéciale.
