If naming rights fall outside the principle of national treatment (which I think it does, not at all sure however) that could be very interesting. <br />I wonder why they did not go for Article 13 (unregistered right).<br /> Would Article 31 be applicable in this this case? Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian were considered to have prior rights, I have not read the case but the fact that it is their names by birth probably had something to do with it, not sure how a translation would be treated. I think Jordan could be considered to have prior rights too (although unregistered).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-86654059849693340112012-03-20T06:14:11.974+00:002012-03-20T06:14:11.974+00:00Interesting and Insightful post.

Article 99 of General Principle of Civil Law says only citizens can enjoy right to name. Not an individual. Will this make any problem for the claims of Jordan? <br /><br />Thank You<br /><br />http://en.chinacourt.org/public/detail.php?id=2696 link to GPCLSooraj K Abrahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09390289906482457673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-36866035148443879212012-03-16T18:19:49.641+00:002012-03-16T18:19:49.641+00:00Megan - It's been done...Megan - <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-11732595" rel="nofollow">It's been done...</a>Tevildohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04769687740240529112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-43205615013471233882012-03-14T08:02:49.402+00:002012-03-14T08:02:49.402+00:00I don't think any famous person should be able...I don't think any famous person should be able to object to a translation of their name in another language. Can I (Megan) object to the use of Mégane for the Renault cars in France (assuming I am famous)? Can Meg Ryan be able to object to Mégane cars? No. Could she object to Még Ryan cars or Mégane Ryan cars? Maybe/probably. Now if her image were used with the cars against her will, then yes, that is something different.Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07991742540996769458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-11909548017493653632012-03-13T23:10:19.714+00:002012-03-13T23:10:19.714+00:00Soon all the world's wealth will be in the han...Soon all the world's wealth will be in the hands of four celebrities.
