Personality rights around the world


Script-ed, a new publication from the AHRB Research Centre for Studies in Intellectual Property and Technology Law  based in the School of Law at the University of Edinburgh, features this article: Comparative Aspects of Personality Rights: Research Project and Case Studies

This is a comparative analysis of the measures instituted in a variety of jurisdictions to protect different aspects of the human personality, such as image, identity, personal privacy, dignity and related economic interests. As part of this project, co-directors have devised a series of case studies, the purpose being to discover not only if there is a commonality in the ethic underlying the protection of personality, but also to ascertain at what level the public interest might operate to restrict or define the scope of the rights
