In Summarizing the textbook, Law In Sport, intellectual property “is the body of laws that
protect the creative aspects of the sport industry. The law also protects the
commercial aspects of a celebrity athlete’s persona, but not facts or
statistics that are already in the public domain.” Furthermore, litigation is
often the result of those who infringe on the intellectual property of an
organization. With modern day technology continuing to produce digital media at
an accelerated pace, issues with intellectual property is bound to occur more
frequently than ever before.
