When I saw the case, Xiaobian once thought it was another new copyright case. After digging deep, I realized that it was a new copyright, not a new copyright. Only the brand of rights protection changed from Duffy Archive Limited in August to Gavin Evans this time, but the object of rights protection is the photo copyright of the famous British rock singer David Bowie david bowie, and the plaintiff’s law firm is still TME, which can be described as a change of form. In addition, David Bowie is a trademark itself, but the holder is another person, so cross-border sellers should use it carefully. Xiao bian summarizes that portraits and names of celebrities such as David Bowie are high-risk, and they must not be used against the wind without authorization.

The work of defending rights this time is about the photo taken by Gavin Evans for Time magazine by David Bowie David Bowie, a famous British rock singer, in July 1995. It is called “The Session”, and this work has appeared on the exhibition list of David Bowie in Victoria and Albert Museum, the art auction list of David Bowie in Sotheby’s in 2016, and even on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine. The work was filmed in 1995 and certified in 2021. Because the plaintiff did not publish the detailed copyright map, it is not known which specific picture it is. However, after searching on Amazon and other platforms, Xiaobian found that there are many high-risk products on sale, and cross-border sellers need to be careful.
