Abstract: This article focuses on the Hilton v. Hallmark decision issued by the 9th Circuit in 2009. Ultimately, the article criticises the 'transformative use' standard articulated by the California Supreme Court for evaluating right of publicity claims. Additionally, the article advocates for a more consistent standard which adequately balances celebrity interests with First Amendment free speech rights.
