Sports Image Licensing

Sports image licensing refers to the legal permission granted to companies or individuals to use photographs, logos, or other visual representations of athletes, teams, or sporting events for commercial purposes. This can include merchandise, advertisements, or promotions. Licensing ensures that the rights holders—like athletes or sports organizations—are compensated for the use of their images while protecting against unauthorized use. Companies typically negotiate agreements to obtain these rights, allowing them to utilize popular sports imagery to enhance their brand recognition and appeal to fans.
