Still, the court also found that the producer had a non-exclusive implied license to Nba 2k22 Mt reproduce the tattoos in its NBA 2K video games. An implied license is one in which there is an implication that someone has the authority to reproduce a copyrighted work.

It is generally understood that those that are tattooed enjoy an implied authorization from tattooists to permit the tattoos to be shown in people and in photos or movies that feature the individual who's tattooed. The reproductions at issue in this situation, however, were not real images of those athletes. Instead, the tattoos have been found on virtual avatars made by artists that created realistic, but digital, representations of the athletes and their own tattoos.

In addressing this problem, Judge Swain recognized that her higher ups at the Second Circuit Court of Appeals hadn't yet ruled on the exact significance of what qualifies as a"implied license" Although, the Second Circuit had found that one party may grant to another a non-exclusive indicated license that allows the latter to reproduce and distribute copyright protected work belonging to the former.

Judge Swain appeared to the signs and found that the tattooists provided LeBron James and the other gamers with a non-exclusive signaled permit depending on the intent for the celebrity athletes to produce the tattoos part of their identities; which includes the reproduction of their images for all kinds of commercial functions.
